Cash Accounting Method

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Accounting Concepts and Principles » Cash Accounting Method

The “cash accounting method” is an accounting practice where revenues and expenses are recorded only when cash is actually received or paid. This method contrasts with accrual accounting, which records transactions when they are incurred, regardless of cash flow. The cash accounting method is often used by small businesses for its simplicity and straightforwardness in tracking cash flow.
