An interview was going on in a company for the post of Accountant. A candidate appeared for the interview and the Accounts Manager of the company was taking the interview. The Accounts Manager asked following question to the candidate.

Accounts Manager: Can you tell me what will be the journal entry for goods distributed as free samples?

Candidate: Yes Sir, it will be

Sales Promotion Expenses A/c Dr.

To Closing Stock

 

Accounts Manager: Why do you think that closing stock should be credited?

Candidate: Because the distributed goods will be taken from stock.

Accounts Manager: No, you are wrong. The correct entry will be

Sales Promotion Expenses A/c Dr.

To Purchases

 

In the above case, the answer given by the candidate was wrong. Many candidates appearing for the interview for Accountant’s position don’t know simple entries of finalization. A talented accountant is the one who has complete knowledge of finalization. Therefore, accountants should always revise their knowledge.
