Accounting for hospital flowers used for church services can be a little complicated. there are a few things to consider when posting these expenses. one of the first things to determine is if the flowers are considered a donation or an expense. if the flowers were given to the church as a donation, then they would be considered part of the church's inventory and wouldn't be posted as an expense. however, if the hospital paid for the flowers, then they would be considered an expense and would need to be accounted for. next, you'll need to determine what account to post the expense under. typically, hospital flowers would be posted under either the supplies or the marketing expense account. if the flowers were given to the church as a donation, then they would be posted under the donations account. it's important to remember that hospital flowers used for church services should be accounted for separately from flowers used for other purposes. for example, if the hospital pays for flowers for a patient's funeral, those flowers would be posted under the funeral expense account, not the hospital flowers account.
