In which business expenses category should I enter the expenditure on prostitutes?
I am preparing my books to send to the accountant. Unfortunately, I have a number of entries for the use of women of ill repute which were categorised as entertainment, but in actual fact we use entertainment only for client entertainment. Could anyone suggest which expenses category they should be entered in?

Answer 1 :
Drawings, its a taxable benefit deemed as personal expenditure. Why don'y you call HMRC and confirm the treatment! Lol!

It is usually called "personal services"
Answer 3 :
You have a section called EQUITY ADD this category: "Screwing IRS" That should work nicely for you

Answer 1 :
Bill Zysblat, founder of RZO Productions, who handles business and management affairs for rock icons U2, David Bowie, The Police, the Rolling Stones, Sting, Shakira, amongst 30 other top entertainment names, was appointed the accountant to Michael Jackson alongside top UK accountant Ivan Sopher, by Michael Jackson’s manager Arfaq. Both accountants worked closely with Arfaq to manage the personal and business affairs of Mr Jackson prior to him starting his London tour. Ivan Sopher continues to represent Arfaq. So in answer both Bill Zysblat and Ivan Sopher were Michael Jacksons Accountants. Good luck with your college project :)
Answer 2 :
u can ask me any thing Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in the mid-1960s, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs including "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style have influenced numerous hip hop, pop, contemporary R&B and rock artists. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first (and currently only) dancer from the world of pop and rock 'n' roll. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any other artist, including the "Artist of the Century"); 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era); and the estimated sale of over 800 million records worldwide. Jackson won hundreds of awards, which have made him the most-awarded recording artist in the history of music. He was also a notable humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising hundreds of millions of dollars for beneficial causes and supporting more than 39 charities. Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships and behavior, have generated controversy. In 1993, he was accused of child sexual abuse, but the case was settled out of court and no formal charges were brought. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges after the jury ruled him not guilty on all counts. While preparing for his concert series This Is It, Jackson died on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. Before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam. The Los Angeles County Coroner declared his death a homicide, and his personal physician pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief, and as many as one billion people around the world reportedly watched his public memorial service on live television. In March 2010, Sony Music Entertainment signed a US$250 million deal with Jackson's estate to retain distribution rights to his recordings until 2017, and to release seven posthumous albums over the decade following his death.

Answer 1 :
I am a qualified chartered accountant (ACCA) and believe me you do not need to be highly proficient at Maths in order to succeed. The job entails using a calculator in order to carry out computations. What you need is the ability to study hard for exams, the ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, and the ability to memorise a huge amount of technical and legal knowledge. Work hard and good luck!
Answer 2 :
learn your Excel and Quicken and some of the newer programs that are available. you will also need a little business savvy to understand what you are doing. Also I would suggest you narrow down what categories of accounting you want to pursue. Accounting involves all kinds of areas from purchasing accounts receivable/payable, inventory, payroll, taxes and statistics. don't get too many of these mixed up as you will get everythng mixed and it will drive you crazy!!! Good luck in your endeavours!!!
Answer 3 :
I've been an accountant for ten years. I work for a fortune 500 hundred company. I want to get out of the field. It is the most boring, least rewarding job I can think of. If you don't mind sitting in front of a computer for hours on end just juggling numbers around to make everything balance, then go for it. If you want to do something that requires math skills there so many interesting fields you can go into- engineering, architecture, math teacher, chemistry.
Answer 4 :
i'm an accountent and i'm not even qualified, in fact, i haven't even got my GCSE results back, and even that was going to be an E or a D for maths. the thing is, you don't need to be good at maths just someone willing to hire you without a qualification because you can get the computer and a calculator to do it all for you. so yeah, if i am one, then anyone can be one! i find it fun because it is all computer work, there isn't that much maths to do with all the modern technology.
Answer 5 :
yes... i consider that you could be an exccele accountant... it is very important to have logical abilities like "doing maths" but also is important to be able to take big responsabilities... i know is posible becouse i study accountancy right now in Romania where i live...Good Luck!!!
Answer 6 :
yes it is possible just work hard at it.
