cash system of accounting is a system in which accounting entries are made only when cash is received or paid. No entry is made when a payment or receipt is merely due. For example, the rent for December 2009 has not been paid till January 10th 2010. Under cash basis, rent expense for the month of December will not be recorded as payment has not been made. Government system of accounting is mostly on the cash system.
