How do I record an investment purchase or the top-up of an investment?
This article is for churches and charities that account on an accruals basis.
Your organisation's investment portfolio is shown on the Investments screen.
New investment purchases or topping up an investment with cash can be recorded through the Bank Reconciliation screen.
When bank matching, where you have withdrawn money from your bank account to put into an investment, you should record this:
- click on the bank transaction in the left-hand table on the bank matching screen
- click the '+' button
- in the drop-down menu that appears, select 'Money Invested'.
Where this is a top-up for an existing investment, select the appropriate account from the list. If it is a new investment, click 'Add Investment'.
The transaction will then be recorded within the specific investment (accessed via the Investments screen), and the value of the investment will have been increased accordingly.
