Recording Liabilities


With ChurchTrac, you can track assets such as checking and savings accounts. But you can also use the software to record and track liabilities. This article shows how using a credit card as an example.

Creating your Liability Account

After clicking the "Add" button on the Accounts screen, name your liability account, select the "Liability" Account Type, and insert your beginning balance. For this example, we used a "Credit Card #2":

Your starting balance amount will be a positive numer, as the software will automatically make liability accounts a negative.

Use your statement beginning date and assign your liability account to the Category and Fund of your choosing.
