Bank (Cash Book) A/c

Whenever cash is being handled by the employees there is always danger that employees might embezzle cash. In order to minimize this risk many of the business units follow this policy:

(1) All cash received is deposited in the bank intact i.e.. no part of the cash received is used for meeting day-to- day payments;

(2) All cheques received are also sent to the bank for collection;

(3) All payments are to be made by the issue of cheques.

However small payments like carriage, postage, local conveyance etc., which. by nature, cannot be, paid by cheque should be dealt through another cash book known as "Petty Cash Book". We will discuss it later in this very chapter.

If the above scheme is adopted, then there is hardly any chance that the employee receiving the cash can misappropriate cash either temporarily or permanently. The only care you should exercise is to see whether the daily total of receipts tallies with the amount deposited in the bank (either on the same day or on the next working day) or not.
