NOTE

DOUBLE COLUMN CASH BOOK

As a business grows, the owner will realize the need to open a bank account where the business money can be kept. The business will therefore prepare a two column (or double column) Cash Book to record the movements of money. The Cash Account and the Bank Account will appear side-by-side in the Cash Book.

 

The rules of double entry bookkeeping are still applied. Any money received is debited in the Cash Book. If the money is placed in the cash till, it will be entered in the cash column and if it is paid into the bank or received as cheque, it will be entered in the bank column.

Any money paid out is credited in the Cash Book. If the money is paid in cash it will be entered in the cash column and if it is paid by cheque, it will be entered in the bank column.

The Cash Account and the Bank Accounts must be balanced separately at appropriate interval to determine the Cash in Hand and the Cash at Bank

 

ContraEntries

Sometimes surplus cash is paid into the bank, or money may be withdrawn from the bank to the office. Such transactions are known contra entries because they appear on both sides of the Cash Book.

A contra entry occurs when the double entry records of a transaction occurs in the same ledger. To record cash removed from the office and paid into the bank:

Debit Bank Account Credit Cash Account

To record cash withdrawn from the bank for office use:

Debit Cash Account Credit Bank Account

In each case, the letter “c”is usually entered in the folio column of the cash book to indicate that the double entry is on the opposite side of the same book.
