Question
I'm trying to figure out how to show the transfer of funds in my receits and disbursement reports.  Do I list the transfer as a receit for the account that the transfer is made to.  If so does this not make it look like its new money when in fact its already been accounted for when it was initially received.  However, if I don't list it as being transferred, I don't show the movement of the money.  This then makes my disbursements inaccurate.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer
It is a credit to the account it is transferring from and a debit to the account it is tranferring into.

It will be new money received in the account it is going into, however, it will be less money in the account it was originally placed in which reduces the amount received in that account. You are simply moving it from one account to another. The originally account no longer has the amount received in it as you moved it to another account.
