In the financial Statements of Not-for-profit organisations, one of the statement Receipt and Payment account is also prepared along with the Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet.
The Content covered in this article:
Meaning of the Receipts and Payments account: –
It is just a summary of the all-cash transactions (including transaction done through the Bank) related to receipts and payments made by the organisation during a relevant accounting period. This account is being prepared at the end of the financial year along with the income and expenditure account and balance sheet.
The cash book and Receipts and Payment A/c both provide the same information but in a different manner. In the cash book, all the transaction are recorded in chronological order but in Receipts and Payment A/c the only summary of accounts are shown at the end of the relevant accounting period. The Receipts and Payment A/c does not give the date of Transactions.
In the Receipts and Payment A/c, all the cash receipts are recorded on the debit side and all cash payments are recorded on the credit side of the account.
