ACCOUNTING RECORDS
Overview

Public sector accounting systems comprise a structured collection of records which together document the financial transactions of the public agency. At the most basic level the flow of information between the integral components, or records, within the system is indicated by the following diagram:

????????????? ?????????????? ????????????? ??????????? ??????????????

? Source ? ? and ? ? Ledgers ? ? General ? ? Financial ?
? Documents ? ? Journals ? ????????????? ? Ledger ? ? Statements ?
? ?????? ???????????????????? ????? ?
????????????? ?????????????? ??????????? ??????????????

The flow of information, however, is not always this straightforward.

Cash Books

A cash book is a combination of a book of original entry (like a journal) and the ledger account for cash (and often the bank account). As a book of original entry it serves to chronologically record in a two sided format cash (and cheque) receipts on the lefthand side, and cash (and cheque) payments on the righthand side. These amounts are then 'posted' to the relevant ledger accounts which are identified either by ledger folio numbers or account numbers. As the cash book is also a replacement of the ledger account for cash (and often for bank) it is therefore balanced at regular intervals.
