Genoa

Accounting in Genoa for Iraqi companies

In short

Accounting in Genoa is the module where a company keeps its books. It is part of the same product as inventory, sales and purchasing, and customer and supplier ledgers with ageing. It is built for Iraqi companies working in Iraqi dinars, and the US dollar can be added through multi-currency, an optional feature that is off by default and switched on per organisation.

What does accounting cover in a trading company?

In any company, accounting means recording every financial transaction: what it sells, what it buys, what it receives and what it pays. These transactions are recorded as journal entries against a chart of accounts, and a trial balance is used to check that the books balance.

In an Iraqi trading company, the accounts are closely tied to stock and to customer and supplier debts. That is why it helps to keep all of them in one system.

How does accounting work in Genoa?

Accounting in Genoa is built on journal entries and the Unified Accounting System chart of accounts, and it can prepare IFRS-based financial statements.

Because accounting sits in the same product as inventory, sales and purchasing, and the ledgers, sales and purchases recorded in those modules are reflected in the accounts.

Can I work in US dollars in Genoa?

Yes, once multi-currency is enabled: sales and purchase invoices can be priced in US dollars at an exchange rate entered with the invoice, the Iraqi dinar equivalent is calculated, and the journal entry and the books stay in dinars.

Multi-currency is optional: it is off by default and switched on per organisation, according to each company's needs. A company that works only in dinars does not need to enable it.

What should you ask about accounting in a demo?

A demo is the place to check that Genoa's accounting fits the way your company works. Useful questions to ask:

  • How would our chart of accounts be set up?
  • How does a sales or purchase invoice show up in the accounts?
  • How do I check an account's balance for a given period?
  • Do we need multi-currency, or is the Iraqi dinar enough for us?

Questions about accounting

Can Genoa replace manual ledgers and spreadsheets for our accounts?

That is the purpose of Genoa: keeping accounts, stock, sales and purchasing, and customer and supplier ledgers in one product instead of separate notebooks and spreadsheets.

A demo is a good first step to see how your usual transactions would be recorded in Genoa.

Do I need to enable the dollar to use accounting in Genoa?

No. Accounting in Genoa works in Iraqi dinars without any extra feature.

Multi-currency is optional, off by default and switched on per organisation. It is only needed if the company deals in US dollars.
