Accounting Templates for Client Records

Choose accounting templates by the document you need to prepare. Company templates record shareholdings, a declared dividend or a directors’ decision.

Workpapers help you check account balances or reconcile profit for tax. The complaints policy sets out how your practice handles concerns.

Company Records

A share certificate records a shareholder’s holding in a document you give to that shareholder. Choose the share register when you need the company’s continuing record of its members and their holdings.

A certificate and a register do different jobs, even when they use the same shareholding facts.

Use the dividend statement for the shareholder’s record of a declared distribution, including the supplied dividend and franking details.

The solvency resolution records the directors’ decision about the company’s ability to pay its debts. It gives you a document for that decision after the directors have made it.

Accounting Workpapers

A trial balance puts account balances into debit and credit columns so you can check whether the totals agree. Start with the balances from the client’s accounts for the period you are preparing.

Equal totals alone do not establish that every entry is correct.

The tax reconciliation starts with accounting profit and records the adjustments needed to reach taxable income. Use the client’s accounts and the supporting schedules for those adjustments.

Choose it when you need to explain the difference between profit in the accounts and the income used for tax.

Practice Complaints Policy

The complaints policy is a document for your practice. Use it to set the complaint contact and response steps, with responsibilities and escalation routes.

It describes how staff handle a complaint across the practice, rather than recording a client’s balances or company decisions.

The AI policy template records your practice’s rules for staff use of AI. Use the NDA template for a confidentiality agreement with someone who will see client information.

Choose the privacy policy template to describe how your practice handles personal information. The privacy impact assessment template records privacy risks and actions for a new system or AI tool.

Before You Fill a Template

Choose an accounting template here for a company record, one of the workpapers above or a practice document. This collection does not include ledger or financial statement spreadsheets.

Use the client’s approved records for factual fields. For practice policies, enter the contacts and procedures your practice has chosen.

Each template uses the facts you supply locally in your browser to prepare a document or workpaper for you to check.

The tools do not lodge records, sign documents or decide the underlying legal or tax treatment. Review the output against the supporting records before you use it.
