Cash book

Assalamualaikum,

We have actually or currently studying cash book. It is the combination of the cash account and also the bank account. In reality, we don't have cash account coz we will only dealing with petty cash. We will not cover petty cash at the moment, so let's focus on the cash book as it will be a question in your final.

I have already covered most of the topic during my lecture. And here is some notes I took from the net. You as same as me, should always refer to the net because it has so many valuable information that might help you in your study. Since you want to be spoon fed, then I'm not pasting it in my posting.

Definition and Explanation of Cash Book

Definition:

The book in which all cash transactions (either cash is received or paid) are primarily recorded according to dates, is called 'Cash Book'.

Features:

A Cash Book has the following features:
  1. It plays a dual role. It is both a book of original entry as well as a book of final entry. All cash transactions are primarily recorded in it as soon as they take place; so it is a journal (a book of original entry). On the other hand, the cash aspect of all cash transactions is finally recorded in the Cash Book (no posting in Ledger); so a Cash Book is also a Ledger (a book of final entry).
  2. Only one aspect of cash transaction is posted to the ledger account. The other aspect ( i.e. cash aspect) needs no posting in Cash A/c. Since the Cash Book is the substitute for Cash A/c, no Cash A/c is opened in the ledger.
  3. It has two identical sides-left hand side, the debit side and right hand side, the credit side.
  4. All the items of cash receipts are recorded on the left hand side and all items of cash payments on the right hand side in order of date.
  5. The difference between the total of two sides shows cash in hand.
  6. Its balance is verified by counting actual cash in the cash box.
  7. It always shows debit balance. It can never show credit balance.

Advantages:

Generally cash transactions are numerous. What is credit transaction today, will be cash transactions tomorrow. In other words, all credit transactions are finally settled by cash. If like all other transactions cash transactions are also recorded primarily in Journal, the cash aspect of the transactions will be required to be posted to Cash A/C, in the Ledger separately. This involves much time and labour. This is why, cash transactions are recorded in a separate book named Cash Book. It saves much time and labour. Besides this the Cash Book renders the following benefits:
  1. Daily cash receipts and cash payments are easily ascertained.
  2. Cash in hand at any time can easily be ascertained through Cash Book balance.
  3. Any mistake in the book can be easily detected at the time of verification of cash.
  4. Any defalcation of money can be detected while verifying cash.
  5. Since cash is verified daily, Cash Book is always kept up-to-date.

Is Cash Book a Journal or a Ledger?

From the above discussion it appears that the Cash Book is the substitute for the Cash Account. In fact, no separate Cash Account is opened in the Ledger, Cash Book serves the purpose of the Cash Account. The entries in Cash Book are regarded as one aspect of the Double Entry System - the other aspect is posted to the Ledger in the concerned account. L.C. Cropper remarked "Every entry in the Cash Book makes one half of a double entry; the other half of the double entry appears on the opposite side of some account in the Ledger."From this angle, 'Cash Book is a Ledger'.

On the other hand, all cash transactions are primarily recorded in the Cash Book in order of date and thereafter posted to the concerned ledger accounts. Judging from this angle, 'Cash Book is a Journal'. Thus we see that a Cash Book is the 'mixture of Journal and Ledger'. According to Spicer & Pegler, "the Cash Book is actually a ledger account, but owing to the large number of entries made therein, it is kept in a separate book, called a Cash Book, which is used also as a book of prime entry."

Specimen/format of Simple Cash Book:

DateParticularV. No.L. F.Amount$DateParticularsV. No.L. F.Amount$

The Columns of the Cash Book are Explained Below:

1. Date:

The date of transaction is written in this column in two lines—in the first line, the year and in the second line, the name of the month followed by the actual date.

2. Particulars:

In this column the name of the opposite account is written (the second aspect of cash transaction). Below this is written the narration of the transaction.

3. L.F. (Ledger Folio):

The page number of the Ledger where the concerned (opposite ) account has been opened, is written in this column. This will help to locate the account from the Ledger. It may be noted that in a Ledger account J.F. is written as reference, while in a Cash Book L.F. is written. It is so, because cash transactions are not recorded in any Journal.

4. Amount:

The amount of the transaction is recorded in this column. The amount of cash received is recorded on the debit side in amount column and the amount of cash paid is recorded on the credit side in amount column.

5. V. NO. (Voucher Number):

The voucher number of each item of receipt and payment is also written. A voucher is necessary for each item of receipt and payment. Generally, a voucher has a serial number and this number-is written in this column (V. No).

When cash is received from a debtor or customer, generally a receipt or 'cash memo' is issued to the debtor which is called Receipt Voucher. Again, when money is paid to a creditor or supplier a receipt is obtained from him which is called 'Payment Voucher, Cash transactions are recorded in the Cash Book on the basis of Receipt Voucher and Payment Voucher.

Thus, a document evidencing cash receipts and payments and forming the basis for making entries in the Cash Book is called Cash Voucher.

Distinction Between a Cash Book and a Cash Account:

In fact, Cash Book is a substitute for a Cash Account. Yet there are some differences between the two, which are given below:

Cash BookCash Account
1.It is a separate book in which cash transactions are directly recorded.1.It is an account in a Ledger in which posting is made from journal.
2.It serves the purpose of both journal and ledger and hence cash transactions need not be primarily recorded in Journal.2.It serves the purpose of a Ledger only. If Cash A/C is opened in the Ledger, all cash transactions are first recorded in journal.
3.Narration is required.3.Narration is not required.
4.A column for Ledger Folio is provided.4.A column for Journal Folio is provided.

Trial Balance

A continuation from my recent post....

Trial balance is the LIST of balances of all the accounts that have been transacted in  a period of time. After doing the balancing off  of each account, the balance will be taken to form a statement called TRIAL BALANCE. This is normally done at the end of a period or whenever is need. Let say, your boss wanted a report to be presented tomorrow, and that tomorrow is not even the last day of the month! Should you tell your boss.."Hey look, I cannot accommodate your request since we are still in the middle of the month" Of course he will say, "Never mind, I'll get somebody to prepare it for me but you also need to prepare and pack up your things!" Hahahaha!

If that is the case, what you need to do is, just close the account, balancing it off and take the balances to post them at the trial balance. Look carefully at the balances either debit or credit. That will determine the location of the balances of the account. Or you need to know the nature of each account. If asset account, of course it is debit, liability is credit, equity is credit, revenue is credit and expenses is credit.

The example of a trial balance will be like this...

trial-balance-img2 

You need to get your trial balance BALANCE!. The name suggest it to be that way. If you managed to get it balance, then all your transactions of debits and credits are CORRECT!

What is Balancing off accounts?

What you do when you walk out from a room? Of course you will close the door behind you. Why don't you just let it open? Because you need to close it, that's is the function of having a door, right?

Balancing off normally is done at the end of a period. But it is actually done when you want it. If you want to close your account today because you need to prepare a financial presentation tomorrow, then you need to close it by today. What you need is to do balancing off of all your accounts.

By doing balancing off, you may get your total balance of the accounts. How much you have at the end of the period. It is either you can prepare for the next course of action or you can do some decision making on it.

What you need to do is to look at the account.... Don't just look at it coz you achieve nothing! Look at the total of both sides, the debit and credit side of the the account. Then total all of them up and see the difference. If the debit is higher than the credit, then we call the account has a debit balance. DEBIT WINS! The debit amount is higher than the credit. If the credit total is higher, then we call it as credit balance.

The difference of the total is what you have for the balance of that particular period. Say... the debit total is RM100,000 whereas the credit total is RM80,000. Then we know that the debit total is more. DEBIT WINS. We call the account has a debit balance. We do a balancing off by having the same total for both sides and of course the credit has to top up another RM20,000 to be at the same total as the debit side. That RM20,000 is the balance of the said account.

Is that simple!

Coming up next! the Trial Balance...



Recording transactions - Journal entries and the T-Accounts

Ok let's recap what we have done so far....

First of all you have transactions which you have to identify according to the category. The categories involved were assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses. Then you determine the increase and decrease of each account thus translate them into debits and credits.

We then construct journal entries stating the accounts as well as the amount of each transaction. Remember, every transaction must have two accounts involving the same figures. That is why we should get our accounts balance.

Preparing the ledgers or some say the T-account will be done right after we confidently finished the journal entries recording each or the occurred transactions. The entry of the T-Account somehow making some students confuse due to the account containing an opposite accounts name inside. For example....

Starts business with cash RM20,000, then the journal entries would be

Dr Cash    Cr Equity (of the same amount at both sides)

But in the T-account is different, under the T-account of Cash, there will be the word equity at the debit side. This is because, the increase in cash of RM20,000 was due from the equity. Same goes to the equity T-account where the increase of equity will be at the credit side which the word cash appears.

Lastly, we do balancing off..... we shall continue the BALANCING OFF on the other page....

See ya!

What is accounts receivables?

Accounts receivables.

 

Accounts receivables is the money that the business has the right to receive it after the business had provided the other party either goods or services. The accounts receivables are also known as trade debtors where the business engages the activity of selling its goods or services to its customers on credit.

The sales made by cash or by cheque is simple. We just give our customer the goods and we receive money, either cash or cheque. But, when we deal with our customer, asking them to buy or to promote them to buy and we offer them a credit, where they take the goods first and then they will settle the payment later or at a agreed specified date. If this is the case, then we're having a credit sales. Now, we have persons who owe us money.

A credit sales will eventually creates an account. An account that we are able to receive. That is why we call the person who owe us money an account receivables or a trade debtor. A debtor that comes from a trade activity. it falls under an asset category, specifically under a current asset category. Why? Because this accounts receivable is the person who us money, so, that is our money, they are holding our money. We see them walking around, we see our money in them. That's is why accounts receivables is an asset.

What is the difference between a person who owe us money but not from the trading transaction?

 

A person who us money for some other reasons besides trading is known as debtors or we can put them as our sundry debtors. For example, Jack approached us to borrow some money. Since we don't have some money in our pocket, we decided to lend him some from the business money. So you took some cash from the business and gave it to him. (Please don't do this, it is not ethical!). Here, you have to record a transaction for the money you took just now from the business. Jack will be our sundry debtors, not an accounts receivables because he didn't do any trading with us neither buy or sell. So, Jack will be classified under current asset specifically as sundry debtor.

The above concept can also be applied to accounts payable. Just think of the opposite. Okay?

Ok see ya later!

BUS2231 - Control Accounts



What is the purpose of control accounts?

 



A control account is a summary account in the general ledger. The details that support the balance in the summary account are contained in a subsidiary ledger—a ledger outside of the general ledger.

The purpose of the control account is to keep the general ledger free of details, yet have the correct balance for the financial statements. For example, the Accounts Receivable account in the general ledger could be a control account. If it were a control account, the company would merely update the account with a few amounts, such as total collections for the day, total sales on account for the day, total returns and allowances for the day, etc.

The details on each customer and each transaction would not be recorded in the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger. Rather, these details of the accounts receivable activity will be in the Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Ledger. This works well because the employees working with the general ledger probably do not need to see the details for every sale or every collection transaction. However, the sales manager and the credit manager will need to know detailed information on individual customers, including whether a customer recently reduced their account balance. The company can provide these individuals with access to the Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Ledger and can keep the general ledger free of a tremendous amount of detail.

Sales Ledger Control Accounts And Purchases Ledger Control Accounts

 

Two of the most common Control Accounts are Sales Ledger Control Accounts and Purchases Ledger Control Accounts. After posting all transactions the balance of the Control Account and the sum of the detailed records in the Subsidiary Ledger should always be the same. In other words, a control account deals with summarized information while a subsidiary ledger deals with detailed information.  Because the control accounts contain summarized information they are also called total accounts. Therefore a control account for a Sales Ledger can be called a Sales ledger Control accounts or Total Debtors Account. A control account for a Purchases Ledger can be called a Purchases Ledger Control account or a Total Creditors Account.

 Sources of information for entries in Control Accounts

 Control Accounts

Significance of the balances on the control accounts

The closing balances on the sales ledger control accounts should be equal to the sum total of the closing balances on the individual debtor accounts in the sales ledger. It follow as well that the closing balances on the purchases ledger control accounts should be equal to the sum total of the closing balances on the individual creditor  accounts in the purchases ledger. If the respective balances are not in agreement then it would suggest some form of irregularity in the records which would need investigation.
