Essay Questions
1. What is cash?
From the point of view of a layman, "cash" simply means money. Money is the
standard medium of exchange in business transactions which refers to the currency
and coins which are in circulation and legal tender. However, in the accounting
parlance, the term "cash" has a 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.
2. What is the meaning of "unrestricted cash"?
There is no specific standard dealing with "cash". The only guidance is found in PAS
1, paragraph 66, which provides that "an entity shall classify an asset as current when
it is cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to
settle a liability for at least twelve months after the end of reporting period."
Accordingly, to be reported as "cash" as a current asset, an item must be unrestricted
in use. This means that the cash must be readily available in the payment of current
obligations and not be subject to any restrictions, contractual or otherwise. Thus,
unrestricted cash includes cash on hand, cash in bank and cash fund set aside for
current purposes.
3. What is the meaning of "cash equivalents"?
PAS 7, paragraph 6, defines cash equivalents as 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 rates. PAS
7 further states that "only highly liquid investments that are acquired three months
before maturity can qualify as cash equivalents".
Examples of cash equivalents are: a. Three-month BSP treasury bill b.

Three-year BSP treasury bill purchased three months before date of
maturity c. Three-month time deposit d. Three-month money market
instrument

FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING
Equity securities cannot qualify as cash equivalents because shares do-not have a
maturity date. However, preference shares with specified redemption date and
acquired three months before redemption date can qualify as cash equivalents.
4. Explain the valuation of cash in the statement of financial

position.
Cash is valued at face value. Cash in foreign currency is valued at the current
exchange rate. If a bank or financial institution holding the funds of the 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.
5. Explain the financial statement presentation and classification of cash and cash
equivalents.
The caption "cash and cash equivalents" 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. However, the details comprising the "cash and cash equivalents" should be
disclosed in the notes to financial statements.
6. Explain the classification of investments in time deposit, money market instrument, and
treasury bills.
Investments in time deposit, money market instruments and treasury bills should be
classified as follows: a. If the term is three months or less, such instruments are
classified as cash equivalents
and therefore included in the caption "cash and cash equivalents". b. If the term is more than
three months but within one year, such investments are classified as short-term or
temporary investments and presented separately as current assets. c. If the term is
more than one year, such investments are classified as long-term investments.
However, if such investments become due within one year from the end of the
reporting period, they are reclassified as temporary investments.
7. Explain the treatment of foreign currency.
Cash in foreign currency shall be translated to Philippine pesos using the current
exchange rate.
Deposits in foreign countries which are not subject to any foreign exchange restriction
are included in "cash".

Deposits in foreign bank which are subject to foreign exchange restriction, if material,
shall be classified separately among noncurrent assets and the restriction clearly
indicated.
8. Explain the classification of a cash fund set aside for a certain

purpose.
If the cash fund is set aside for use in current operations, it is a current asset. It is
included as part of cash and cash equivalents. Examples of such fund are petty cash
fund, payroll fund, travel fund, interest fund, dividend fund and tax fund. On the other
hand, if the cash fund is set aside for noncurrent purposes, it is shown as long-term
investment. Examples of such fund are sinking fund, preferred redemption fund,
contingent fund, insurance fund and fund for acquisition or construction of property,
plant and equipment. Classification of a cash fund as current or noncurrent should
parallel the classification of the related liability.
9. Explain the treatment of a 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 the entity maintains two or more accounts in one bank and one
account results in an overdraft, such overdraft may be offset against the other bank
account with a debit balance. Moreover, an overdraft may also be offset against the
other bank account if the amount is not material.
10. What is a compensating balance? Explain the classification in the statement of financial
position.
A compensating balance is the 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 P2,000,000 from a bank and agrees to maintain 10%
compensating balance or P200,000 in a current or checking account.
In effect, this arrangement results in the reduction of the amount borrowed because the
compensating balance provides a source of funds to the bank as partial compensation
for the loan extended.

FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING
11. Explain fully the treatment of compensating

balance.
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.
In many instances and in accordance with normal banking practices, deposits are not
legally restricted because most often compensating balance agreements are informal
and therefore not legally binding. The amount and nature of such agreements whether
legally or not legally restricted shall be fully disclosed in the notes to financial
statements.
12. What is the meaning of undelivered check? Postdated check? Stale

check?
An undelivered or unreleased check is one that is merely drawn and recorded but not
given to the payee before the end of reporting period. The unreleased check shall not
be treated as outstanding check. Accordingly, the original entry for the payment shall
be reversed so as to restore the cash balance and the related liability account.
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 a delivered postdated check shall also be reversed and therefore restored to
the cash balance.
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 encashed within six months
from the time of issuance. Of course, this is a matter of entity policy. Thus, even after
three months, the entity may issue a "stop payment order" to the bank for the
cancelation of the stale check. The stale check previously issued by an entity shall also
be restored to the cash balance.
13. Explain window dressing, lapping and

kiting.
Window dressing is a practice of opening the books of accounts beyond the close of
the accounting period for the purpose of showing a better financial position and
performance. Window dressing is usually perpetrated as follows:
a. By recording as of the last day of the accounting period collections made

subsequent to
the close of the period.

b. By recording as of the last day of the accounting period payments of accounts made
subsequent to the close of the period.
Lapping consists of misappropriating a collection from one customer and concealing

this defalcation when collection is made from another customer.
Kiting is a transfer of cash from one bank to another bank. Kiting is usually employed
at the end of the month. Kiting 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.
14. Explain the imprest system.
The imprest system is an internal control device for cash which requires that all cash
receipts should be deposited intact and all cash payments should be made by means of
check. Small disbursements are paid out of the petty cash fund.
15. What are the two systems of handling petty cash fund? Explain
briefly.
1. Imprest fund system - Pretty cash expenses are recorded upon replenishment. The
amount of the replenishment is normally equal to the petty cash
disbursements.
2. Fluctuating fund system — Petty cash expenses are immediately recorded. The
amount of replenishment may be equal to, more or less than, the petty cash
disbursements.
16. What is a bank reconciliation?
A bank reconciliation is a statement which brings into agreement the cash balance per
book and cash balance per bank. It is usually prepared monthly because the bank
provides the depositor with the bank statement at the end of every month.
A bank statement is a monthly report of the bank to the depositor showing the cash
balance per bank at the beginning, the deposits acknowledged, the checks paid, other
charges and credits and the daily cash balance per bank during the month. Actually,
the bank statement is an exact copy of the depositor's ledger in the records of the bank.
17. What are credit memos and debit memos?
Credit memos refer to items not representing deposits credited by the bank to the
account of the depositor but not yet recorded by the depositor as cash receipts. They
have the effect of

FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING
increasing the bank balance. Typical examples of credit memos are note collected by
bank in favor of the depositor and proceeds of bank loan credited to the account of the
depositor.
Debit memos refer to items not representing checks paid by bank which are charged or
debited by the bank to the account of the depositor but not yet recorded by the
depositor as cash disbursements. They have the effect of decreasing the bank balance.
Typical examples of debit memos are NSF checks and bank service charges.
18. Explain deposits in transit.
Deposits in transit are collections already recorded by the depositor as cash receipts
but not yet reflected on the bank statement.
Deposits in transit include: a. Collections already forwarded to the bank for deposit
but too late to appear in the bank
statement. b. Undeposited collections or those still in the hands of the depositor. In effect,
these are
cash on hand awaiting delivery to the bank for
deposit.
19. Explain outstanding checks.
Outstanding checks are checks already recorded by the depositor as cash

disbursements but not yet reflected on the bank statement. Outstanding checks
include:
a. Checks drawn and already given to payees but not yet presented for
payment.
b. Certified checks - A certified check is one where the bank has stamped on its face
the
word "accepted" or "certified" indicating sufficiency of
fund.
When the bank certifies a check, the account of the depositor is immediately debited
or charged to insure the eventual payment of the check. Certified checks should be
deducted from the total outstanding checks (if included therein) because they are no
longer outstanding for bank reconciliation purposes.
20. What are the three forms of bank reconciliation?
1. Adjusted balance method - Under this method, the book balance and the bank
balance
are brought to a correct cash balance that must appear on the balance
sheet.
2. Book to bank method - Under this method, the book balance is reconciled with the
bank
balance or the book balance is adjusted to equal the bank balance. 3. Bank to book method -
Under this method, the bank balance is reconciled with the book
balance or the bank balance is adjusted to equal the book
balance.
21. What is a "proof of cash"?
A proof of cash is an expanded reconciliation in that it includes proof of receipts and

disbursements. This approach may be useful in discovering possible discrepancies in
handling cash particularly when cash receipts have been recorded but have not been
deposited.
