Cambrige Notes: The Cash Book

Cash Book Example. Frank Wood’s Business Accounting I

• The Cash Book consists of the cash account and the bank account put together in one book.
• The result is that all monies paid and received on the same day are recorded on the same page whether they were in the form of cash or bank payments
• The bank column contains details of the payments made by cheque and direct transfers from
• the bank account and of the money received and paid into the bank account.
• The bank will have a copy of the account in its own books.
• The bank regularly sends a copy of the account as it appears in its book in the form of a bank statement.
• A bank statement can also be received upon request to the bank.
• The bank’s statement can be used by the business to ensure that there are no errors in its own books.
