Question 267 (4 of 6 Based on Passage)
Write in Brief
One Liner▾State any two reasons for difference in bank balance of cash book and the bank statement that occurs due to the time lag. (Marks 2)
Explanation
(i) Cheque issued to a creditor but yet presented for payment
(ii) Cheque paid into the bank but not yet collected by the bank
- Cheque issued to a creditor but yet presented for payment- When cheques are issued by the business, these are immediately entered on the credit side of the bank column of the cash book but the payee may present these cheques to the bank at some later date. The bank will debit the business’ account when these are presented for payment.
Cheque paid into the bank but not yet collected by the bank- When cheques are deposited into the bank, the business immediately enters it on the debit side of the bank column of the cash book which increases the bank balance as per the cash book. But the bank credits the business’ account when these are actually realized.
