Cash Books (Cash Payments and Receipts Journals)
Cash books are the names given to the Cash Receipts Journal and the Cash Payments Journal. They are used to record the flow of cash into and out of the business.
The Cash Receipts Journal lists all money received by the business (into its general banking account, not its trust account for which separate journals must be kept).
