2.4. Cash Books
2.4.1. Introduction to Cash Books: Cash book is a type of subsidiary book but is considered in accounts as a principal
book.
Cash book is a subsidiary book because all cash transactions are recorded directlyin the cash book.
Cash book is also a principal book because it serves as an account. It gives us thebalance of cash in hand and at bank at the end of the period. These balances are
entered in the Trial Balance.
The cash book records all cash receipts and cash payments.
The cash book does not record credit purchases, credit sales, and outstandingexpenses.
The main objective of preparing a cash book is to ascertain the cash and bankbalances of the business.
2.4.2. Kinds of Cash Book2.4.2.1. Simple Cash Book:
A simple cash book has cash column on both sides. The debit side (left handside) of the account is for recording receipts of cash. The credit side (righthand side) of the account is for recording payments of cash.
When this type of cash book is maintained, a separate account for banktransactions is maintained in the General Ledger.
The closing balance in a simple cash book will always be a favorable balancei.e. it will appear on the credit side of the account at the end of the period.
The opening balance in a simple cash book will be recorded on the debit sideas "To balance b/d".
2.4.2.2. Double Column Cash Book: A double column cash book has two columns on either side of the account.
The two columns could be cash and bank on either side or 'cash' and
'discount allowed' on the debit side and 'cash' and 'discount received' on the
credit side. The format is as follows:

In case of a double column cash book with cash and discount columns, thebank transactions will be recorded in a separate bank account in the general
ledger.
In case of a double column cash book with cash and discount columns, theopening balance will always be a debit balance.
The discount columns are not balanced. They are only totaled and areentered in the discount accounts in the ledger.
The total of the discount column on the debit side of the cash book is thetotal of the discount allowed to customers and the total of the discount
column on the credit side shows the total of the discount received from
suppliers.
In case of double column cash book with cash and bank columns, thediscount transactions are recorded in the discount accounts in the general
ledger.
The opening balance of bank can either be a debit balance or a creditbalance but cannot be both. Cash will always have debit balance.
If the business has more than one bank account, it can have separatecolumns for each bank account.

2.4.4. Petty Cash Book: Petty cash book is a subsidiary book. It is used to keep record of petty cash
expenses like postage, minor repairs, auto charges, photocopying charges etc.
The balance in the petty cash book is an asset and is included in the BS on theassets side as part of "Cash Balances".
2.4.5. Imprest System of Petty Cash: Usually the imprest system is followed for petty cash. The petty cashier is
entrusted with a certain sum of cash, say Rs.500 at the beginning of a week. After
that week, the petty cashier submits a statement of expenses by him, say, Rs.430
which will be reimbursed by the main cashier to him so that the imprest is
restored. The petty cashier will now have Rs.500 (Rs.70 cash in hand +
reimbursement of Rs.430) at the beginning of the next week to meet the expenses
during the next week.
The amount to be reimbursed by the main cashier to the petty cashier to make upthe imprest will be equal to the total expenses incurred by the petty cashier.
