Learning Intentions
In this chapter, I will learn: • Why a business prepares an analysed cash book. • How to prepare an analysed cash book for a business. • How to analyse an analysed cash book.
Key Words: Analysed cash book (ACB)
WHY DOES A BUSINESS PREPARE AN ANALYSED CASH BOOK?
The analysed cash book (ACB) is the first step in accounting. An analysed cash book (ACB) records all the receipts (money in) and payments (money out) for a business over a period of time.
Like an analysed cash book for a household or an individual, an analysed cash book for a business is divided into two sides: debit (DR) and credit (CR).
