5 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Technical Knowledge
• To understand the concept of cash.
• To understand the concept of cash equivalent.
• To identify items considered cash.
• To identify items considered cash equivalent.
• To understand the imprest system of internal control.
• To know the accounting for petty cash fund.

A. Definition of Cash
From the point of view of a layman, "cash" simply means money. Money is the standard
medium of exchange in business transactions. It refers to the currency and coins which
are in circulation and legal tender.

However, in the accounting parlance, the term "cash" has a s[special and broader
meaning. It connotes more than money.

As contemplated in accounting, cash includes "money and any other negotiable


instrument that is payable in money and acceptable by the bank for deposit and
immediate credit"

Accordingly, cash includes checks, bank drafts and money orders because these are
acceptable by the bank for deposit or immediate encashment.

B. Unrestricted Cash
There is no specific standard dealing with "cash". The only guidance provides that
an entity shall classify an asset as current when the asset is cash or cash equivalent
unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, to be reported as
"cash" an item must be unrestricted in use.

The following cash items are included I "cash":

a. Cash on hand - This includes undeposited cash collections and other cash items
awaiting deposit such as customers' checks, cashier's or manager's checks, travellers
checks, bank drafts and money orders.

b. Cash in bank - This includes demand deposit or checking account and savings deposit
which are unrestricted as to withdrawal.

c. Cash fund - fund set aside for current purposes such as petty cash fund, payroll fund,
and dividend fund.
C. Cash Equivalent
Cash equivalents are short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible
into cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value
because of changes in interest rate. Also stated that only highly liquid investments that
are acquired three months before maturity can qualify as cash equivalent.
Examples:
a. Three-month treasury bill
b. Three month time deposit
c. Three month money market instrument or commercial paper

Note that what is important is the date of purchase which should be three months or less
before maturity.

D. Measurement of Cash
Cash is measured at face value. Cash in foreign currency is measured at the current
exchange rate.

If a bank or financial institution holding funds of an entity is in bankruptcy or financial


difficulty, cash should be written down to estimated realizable value if the amount
recoverable is estimated to be lower than the face value.

E. Financial Statement Presentation


The caption "cash and cash equivalent" should be shown as the first item among the
current assets. This caption includes all cash items, such as cash on hand, cash in bank,
petty cash fund, and cash equivalents which are unrestricted in use for current operations.

F. Investment of Excess Cash


Excess cash may be invested in time deposits, money market instruments and treasury
bills for the purposes of earning interest income.

These investments should be classified as follows:


a. If the term is three months or less, they are classified as cash and cash equivalent
b. If the term is more than three months but within one year, they are classified as
short-term financial assets or temporary investment and presented as current assets
c. If the term is more than one-year, such investments are classified as noncurrent
or long-term investments.

G. Foreign Currency
Cash in foreign currency should be translated to local currency using the current exchange
rate. Deposits in foreign countries which are not subject to any foreign exchange restriction
are included in cash, otherwise, if restricted should be classified separately among non-
current assets and the restriction should be clearly disclosed or indicated.

H. Cash Fund for a Certain Purpose


If the cash fund is set aside for use in current operations or for the payment of current
obligation, it is current asset and included as part of cash and cash equivalent. Examples:
petty cash fund, payroll fund, travel fund, interest fund, dividend fund, tax fund.

Cash fund set aside for noncurrent purpose or payment of noncurrent obligation is shown as
long-term investment. Examples: sinking fund, preference share redemption fund,
contingent fund, insurance fund,.

The classification of a cash fund as current or noncurrent should parallel the classification of
related liability.

For example, a sinking fund that is set aside to pay a bond payable shall be classified as
current asset when the bond payable is already due within one year after the end of reporting
period. However, a cash fund set aside for the acquisition of a noncurrent asset should be
classified as noncurrent regardless of the year of disbursement.

I. Bank Overdraft
When the cash in bank account has a credit balance, it is said to be an overdraft. The
credit balance in the cash in bank account results from the issuance of checks in excess of
the deposits.

A bank overdraft is classified as a current liability and should not be offset against other bank
accounts with debit balances.

However, when an entity maintains two or more accounts in one bank and one account
results in an overdraft, such overdraft can be offset against the other bank account with a
debit balance in order to show "cash, net of overdraft".

J. Compensating Balance
A compensating balance generally takes the form of minimum checking or demand
deposit account balance that must be maintained in connection with a borrowing
arrangement with a bank.

For example, an entity borrows $5,000,000 from a bank and agrees to maintain a 10%
or $500,000 minimum compensating balance in a demand deposit account.

In effect, this arrangement results in the reduction of the amount borrowed because the
compensating balance provides a source of fund to the bank as partial compensation for the
loan extended.

If the deposit is not legally restricted as to withdrawal by the borrower because of an informal
compensating balance agreement, the compensating balance is part of cash.

If the deposit is legally restricted because of a formal compensating balance agreement,


the compensating balance is classified separately as "cash held as compensating balance"
under current assets if the related loan is short-term.

If the related loan is long-term, the compensating balance is classified as noncurrent


investment.

K. Undelivered or Unreleased Check


An undelivered or unreleased check is one that is merely drawn and recorded but not given
to the payee before the end of the reporting period.

Accordingly, and adjusting entry is required to restore the cash balance:

Cash xx
Accounts payable or other appropriate account xx

L. Postdated Check Delivered


A postdated check delivered is a check drawn, recorded and already given to the payee but
it bears a date subsequent to the end of reporting period.

The original entry recording the postdated check shall be reversed :

Cash xx
Accounts payable or other appropriate account xx

M. Stale check
A stale check is a check not encashed by the payee within a relatively long period of time.

In banking practice, a check becomes stale if not encased within six months from the time
of issuance.

If the amount of stale check is immaterial, it is simply accounted for as miscellaneous


income as follows:

Cash xx
Miscellaneous income xx

However, if the amount is material and liability is expected to continue, the cash is restored
and the liability is again set up. The journal entry is as follows:

Cash xx
Accounts payable or other appropriate account xx

N. Window Dressing
Window dressing is a practice of opening the books of accounts beyond the close of the
reporting period for the purpose of showing a better financial position and performance.
Examples:

a. By recording as of the last day of the reporting period collections made subsequent to
the close of the period.
b. By recording as of the last day of the reporting period payments of accounts made
subsequent to the close of the period.

Such practices are unacceptable and entries made to window dress must be reversed
to correct the statements.
O. Lapping
Lapping is a practice used for concealing a cash shortage. This consist of misappropriating
a collection from one customer and concealing this defalcation by applying a subsequent
collection made from another customer

Lapping adalah suatu jenis penggelapan yang dilakukan dengan cara penundaan pembukuan atas penagih
rekening tagihan untuk menyembunyikan adanya kekurangan uang tunai.

Auditor dapat mengungkapkan jenis penggelapan ini dengan cara membandingkan nama, jumlah, dan tang
dalam tembusan advice penyetoran dengan transaksi penerimaan tunai dalam jurnal penerimaan yang berk
Oleh karena prosedur pengungkapan lapping tersebut akan memakan banyak waktu, maka pemeriksa haru
apabila keadaan menunjukkan adanya kecenderungan terjadi penggelapan sebagai akibat dari sistem yang

P. Kitting
Kitting is another device used to conceal a cash shortage. Kitting is possible when an entity
maintains current accounts in different banks. Kitting is usually employed at the end of the
month.

Kitting occurs when a check is drawn against a first bank and depositing the same check
in a second bank to cover the shortage in the latter bank. No entry is made for both the
drawing and deposit of the check.

Kiting adalah penyalahgunaan penerimaan kas yang dilakukan secara sengaja untuk sementara waktu atau
Dalam prakteknya, kiting digunakan untuk menyembunyikan defisit ataupun menggelapkan alur aliran arus
seperti melakukan transfer uang dari satu pihak ke pihak lain.
Contoh kiting : penarikan dana di satu bank, yang akan disimpan di bank lain, kemudian ditarik lagi dan aka

Q. Accounting for Cash Shortage or Overage


When a cash count shows cash which is less than the balance per book, there is cash
shortage to be recorded as follows:

Cash short or over xx


Cash xx

Hence, if the cashier or cash custodian is held responsible for the cash shortage, the
adjustment should be:

Due from cashier/cash custodian xx


Cash short or over xx

However, if reasonable efforts fail to disclosed the cause of the shortage, the adjustment
will be:

Loss from cash shortage xx


Cash short or over xx

If the amount of cash shortage is not material, it can be debited to miscellaneous expense.

Where the cash count shows cash which is more than the balance per book, there is a
cash overage to be recognized as follows:

Cash xx
Cash short or over xx

The cash overage is treated as miscellaneous income if there is no claim on the same. The
journal entry is

Cash short or over xx


Miscellaneous income xx

But where the cash overage is properly found to be the money of the cashier, the journal
entry is:

Cash short or over xx


Payable to cashier xx
R. Imprest System
The imprest system is a system of control of cash which requires that all cash receipts
should be deposited intact and all cash disbursements should be made by means of checks.

S. Petty Cash Fund

The petty cash fund is money set aside to pay small expenses which cannot be paid
conveniently by means of check.

Two methods of handling the petty cash, namely:

a. Imprest fund system


b. Fluctuating fund system

The imprest fund system is the one usually followed in handling petty cash transactions.

Illustration: Imprest fund system

2017

Nov. 10. The entity established an imprest fund, $10,000.

Petty cash fund 10,000


Cash in bank 10,000

Nov. 11-25 Paid expenses out of the fund.

No formal entries are made. The petty cashier generally requires a signed
cash voucher for such payments and simply prepares memorandum entries
in the petty cash journal.

Nov. 29. Replenished the fund. The petty cash items include the following:

Currency and coins 2,000


Supplies 5,000
Telephone 1,800
Postage 1,200
Entry:
Supplies 5,000
Telephone 1,800
Postage 1,200
Cash in bank 8,000

Dec. 31. The fund was not replenished.

The fund is composed of the following: currency and coin, $7,000; supplies,
$1,500; postage, $500; miscellaneous expense, $1,000.

Supplies 1,500
Postage 500
Miscellaneous expense 1,000
Petty cash fund 3,000
2018

Jan. 1. The adjustment made on December 31, 2017 is to be reversed.

Petty cash fund 3,000


Supplies 1,500
Postage 500
Miscellaneous expense 1,000

Feb. 1. The fund is replenished and increased to $15,000.

The composition of the fund: currency and coins' $1,000; supplies $4,500,
postage, $3,000; and miscellaneous, $1,500.

Petty cash fund 5,000


Supplies 4,500
Postage 3,000
Miscellaneous expense 1,500
Cash in bank 14,000

Illustration : Fluctuating fund system

The system is called fluctuating fund system because the checks drawn to replenish the
fund do not necessarily equal the petty cash disbursement.

Nov. 10. The entity established a petty cash fund, $10,000.

Petty cash fund 10,000


Cash in bank 10,000

Nov. 11-25 Paid expenses out of the fund, $8,000.

Expenses 8,000
Petty cash fund 8,000

Nov. 29. Issued a check for $10,000 to replenish the fund.

Petty cash fund 10,000
