What is the difference between accounts payable and accrued expenses payable?

I would use the liability account Accounts Payable for suppliers’ invoices that have been received and must be paid. As a result, the balance in Accounts Payable is likely to be a precise amount that agrees with supporting documents such as invoices, agreements, etc.

I would use the liability account Accrued Expenses Payable for the accrual type adjusting entries made at the end of the accounting period for items such as utilities, interest, wages, and so on. The balance in the Accrued Expenses Payable should be the total of the expenses that were incurred as of the date of the balance sheet, but were not entered into the accounts because an invoice has not been received or the payroll for the hourly wages has not yet been processed, etc. The amounts recorded in Accrued Expenses Payable will often be estimated amounts supported by logical calculations.

What is the difference between Notes Payable and Accounts Payable?

While both of these are liabilities, Notes Payable involves a written promissory note. For example, if your company wishes to borrow $100,000 from its bank, the bank will require company officers to sign a formal loan agreement before the bank provides the money. (The bank might also require your company to pledge collateral and for the company owners to personally guarantee the loan.) Perhaps the loan paperwork will be a half inch high. Your company will record this loan in its general ledger account, Notes Payable. (The bank will record the loan in its general ledger account Notes Receivable.)

Contrast the bank loan with phoning one of your company’s suppliers and asking for a delivery of products or supplies. On the next day the products arrive and you sign the delivery receipt. A few days later your company receives an invoice from the supplier and it states that the payment for the products is due in 30 days. This transaction did not involve a promissory note. As a result, this transaction is recorded in your company’s general ledger account Accounts Payable. The supplier will record the transaction with a debit to its asset account Accounts Receivable (and a credit to its account Sales).

How do you treat voided checks on the bank reconciliation?

If a voided check was written in a previous month, remove the voided check from the list of outstanding checks and write a journal entry to debit Cash and credit the account(s) that was debited when the check was originally recorded.

This entry restores the cash into the checking account and eliminates the debit entered at the time the check was recorded. If the check was written in the current month, you can simply write the journal entry I just described.

Some software will allow a person to go into a previous period’s activity (as well as the current period’s activity) and process the voided check transaction and posting. This too will increase the cash balance and will reverse the debit from the account originally debited when the check was recorded.
