This discussion clarifies the accounting entries required when transferring funds from a branch bank account to the head office bank account. The correct entries involve debiting the Head Office account in the branch's books and crediting the Bank account, while in the head office's books, the Bank account is debited and the Bangalore Branch Office account is credited. The Head Office account in the branch's books should be classified under Current Assets, and the Bangalore Branch Office account in the head office's books should be classified under Current Liability.
We have a branch office in Bangalore and we transferred fund from our Bangalore Branch office's bank account to Kolkata Head office Bank account. Please guide me about the Accounting entries.
