Cash basis is a system of reporting revenues when received in cash and expenses when paid in cash, rather than when the underlying transaction occurs. It records financial transactions only when cash is involved, as opposed to when the obligation or right to receive payment arises. This method provides a simple way to track cash flows but does not follow accrual accounting principles of matching revenues to the periods in which they are earned and expenses to the periods in which they are incurred.
