when I take wages it shows up in the proprietors account - going in and out but is not debited from bank account… is that right?
Where are you taking the wages from? If the balance is increasing in the Proprietors Drawings Account then the balance must be tagged as originating from somewhere. Personally I do it the other way round, wages I take from the bank account are tagged as such and this tags the balance that appears in the Proprietors Drawing Account.
