CASH BOOK AND ITS KINDS

:-  Cash Book is a book of prime entry in which cash and bank transactions are recorded in a chronological order, i.e., as they occur. Cash receipts are recorded on the debit side of the Cash Book and cash payments on the credit side.

Cash Book—A Subsidiary Book and a Principal Book:- Cash and bank transactions are recorded in the Cash Book and on the basis of such records, Ledger Accounts are prepared.
