Cash Book Balances
When the Cash Book is open you will notice a number of figures in the grey area above the buttons near the
foot of the screen. These figures are important as they provide a link between your Cash Receipt and Cash
Payment entries and an understanding of what they represent is the key to ensuring that your Cash Book
balance is correct.
All the figures on display relate exclusively to the month you are in, which is identified on the left. The
opening and closing cash balances for that month are then shown. The closing balance represents the
opening balance (as shown)
plus
all the Cash Receipts and
less
all the Cash Payments for that month.
Therefore, if the month you are viewing is the current month and all your transactions are up-to-date and
correct, this closing balances should equal the amount of cash-on-hand.
You should check on a regular basis that the current closing balance is correct. If the balance shown does
not equal the amount of cash-on-hand, check the following:
• Have all the entries been made
correctly
?
• Have you entered
all
relevant transactions?
To assist you in keeping a balanced Cash Book you should use the
Cash Book Totals
report or the
Cash
Book Daily Summary
which display daily/monthly summaries of Receipts and Payments, with opening and
closing balances.
