VIDEO TUTORIAL ON DOUBLE COLUMN CASH BOOK

DOUBLE COLUMN CASH BOOK AND THREE-COLUMN CASH BOOK

As explained under the cash book, a double-column cashbook has an additional column for a bank where deposits and withdrawals from the bank are recorded. Instead of one column on each side for cash, the columns will be doubled for recording cash and bank. Cash received is debited under cash while cheques received are debited under bank. Payment made in cash is credited under cash while every cheque issued by the firm are credited under the bank.
