Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the correct accounting entry for a driver's salary paid from May 2020 to March 2021. While a single year-end entry is technically correct, it's best practice to record salary expenses monthly as they accrue. This ensures accurate financial reporting and reflects the ongoing liability to the employee.

12 April 2021 The entry is correct but instead of a single entry for the whole year, it is better to make monthly entries i.e. as and when the salary accrues to the employee.
