Q. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey opened a grocery store. They maintain their records on their personal computer using their Mega-Money Saving Software (i.e. Quickbooks) and keep track of all checks and deposits. Their system is in compliance with the IRS?

A. False. While they track their deposits and checks, this would indicate a cash basis system of accounting. One of the largest assets of any grocery store is inventory. The presence of material inventory would require an accrual system of accounting by the IRS. Frequently, internally prepared financial statements are not acceptable by various financial and insurance companies.
