Cash Basis

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal 0.01 sec.
Cash basis
Refers to the accounting method that recognizes revenues and expenses when cash is actually received or paid out.

Cash Basis
A system of accounting that recognizes revenue in the order in which it is received, and expenses on the same basis. Cash basis accounting does not deal with accounts receivable or accounts payable and only recognizes transactions actually paid for. This accounting system is easiest and perhaps best for organizations with few or no credit sales. See also: Accrual Accounting Convention.
