What is cash basis accounting?
Cash basis accounting is the method of tracking finances at the time that cash is exchanged. So, when a customer pays you cash, you would record the transaction; when you pay for your expenses with cash, you would record the transaction. Cash basis differs from ACCRUAL BASIS accounting, which tracks the funds based on when the transaction created a debt. So, in accrual accounting, you would record a transaction when you issue an invoice (requiring payment) because ACCRUAL accounting recognises this invoice as an asset, even though it has not yet been realised. Similarly, when you receive a bill from a client or utility, that bill (in accrual accounting) is recorded as a debt, even though it has not yet been paid. So CASH ACCOUNTING and ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING differ in the TIMING of the record of when the transaction is paid - at time of exchange of cash/funds or at time of notice of requirement to pay. - Xavier
