• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Cash book is a book in which all transactions relating to cash receipts and cash payments are recorded. It starts with the cash or bank balances at the beginning of the period. Generally, it is made on monthly basis. This is a very popular book and is maintained by all organisations, big or small, profit or not-for-profit. It serves the purpose of both the journal as well as the ledger account. It is also called the book of original entry.

A cash book records the transactions related to cash receipts and cash payments. Thus, it records only those transactions that involve cash inflows or outflows. Credit transactions are not recorded in the cash book as it does not involve any cash inflows or outflows.
