Example 1. Postings when opening a current account

Let’s say Leto LLC has one main bank account. Soon, in addition, Leto LLC opened a corporate card account, to which funds were credited from the current account. The bank's opening fee was also withheld. The main account has been replenished. All transactions were carried out in Russian currency.

Analysis of 51 accounts and account cards

Analytical accounting for 51 “Current Accounts” accounts in the 1C Accounting program is carried out using standard reports for each:

  • Sub-account, that is, for each current account of the organization, using the Turnover Balance Sheet report;
  • Receipt and debit of funds using the Account Card report.

For prompt management of finances, the account balance is monitored daily.

Like any standard report, a card can be generated for a certain selected period of time, and identification of each operation allows you to determine the occurrence of an error or inaccuracy in an extremely fast time. In addition to the chronological recording of daily transactions on the current account, the card accumulates final data for a given period. This allows you to quickly compare report data with other accounting registers.

Information on the amount of debit and credit turnover for the month, quarter, year, as well as the size of the opening and closing balance for account 51 must coincide with the data in the balance sheet for the corresponding period.

If a company has several current accounts in different banks, then it is more convenient to maintain cards separately for each credit institution. At the end of the reporting month, the final data is summarized and reflects the total balance of funds on all ruble current accounts of the company. This indicator should be equal to the debit balance of account 51, reflected in the balance sheet and journal order.

Filling algorithm

For full functionality, the paper can be issued in a single copy. At the top of the document fill out:

  • Basic details. The OKPO code is already entered in the form - 0301010. OKUD is filled out.
  • The full name of the company, if any, the structural division of the company within which the form is being filled out.
  • The name of the statement, its number, the date of signatures.
  • The period for which the calculations were made.

The date for drawing up the document can be chosen arbitrarily, but on the condition that this day will not be earlier than the last day in the current month and no later than the actual day the funds are written off from the organization's cash desk.


In addition, on the second page of the statement there is a table, each column of which must be filled in (otherwise a dash is placed in the table cell).

In total, the document contains 18 columns with the following names:

  • serial number of the employee to whom the payment is intended;
  • personnel number of the same employee;
  • last name, first name and patronymic (the latter are abbreviated to initials);
  • position held, profession or specialization in which the employee is engaged;
  • salary or tariff rate;
  • how many days or hours were worked during the specified period (weekends and weekdays are indicated separately);
  • the amount accrued by the organization to this employee for the month (the column is divided into different types of fees, including a “general” column that summarizes the data);
  • what amount was withheld and credited earlier (advance payment, income tax, etc.);
  • the employee’s debts to the organization or, conversely, the exact amount;
  • how much money is supposed to be paid to the employee according to this statement.

How is account 51 used in accounting?

Account 51 is active. An increase in an account is shown as a debit, and a decrease as a credit. For example: if sales revenue is credited to the company’s account, then debit entries on account 51 will be used, and if services, raw materials or debt to counterparties are paid from the current account, then account 51 entries will be made on credit.

The account balance is debit. It shows the cash balance that belongs to the company at the reporting date. Since monetary resources are the assets of the enterprise, the final account balance is reflected in the balance sheet asset, in particular, in line 1250.

The main document confirming the status of the account is a bank statement.

The balance of account 51 cannot be negative. If the company has no money, then the balance is zero; if it does, then the balance is greater than zero. If the bank has provided an overdraft, then it should be reflected as accounts payable, but not as a positive balance.
