CASH BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Definition

Bookmark and Share

CASH BASIS OF ACCOUNTING is the accounting basis in which revenue and expenses are recorded in the period they are actually received or expended in cash. Use of the cash basis generally is not considered to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is therefore used only in selected situations, such as for very small businesses and (when permitted) for income tax reporting. See also Accrual Basis.

LINKED ACCOUNT gives you the flexibility of opening minor or custom account(s) that are linked to your primary account. Transactions between linked accounts are usually controlled through the password of the primary account. Linked accounts are possible through either commercial or consumer accounts, e.g. a consumer may have his/her checking, savings and over-draft protection accounts linked so that transactions can be easily made between them.

VALUE CHAIN is the sequential set of primary and support activities that an enterprise performs to turn inputs into value-added outputs for its external customers. As developed by Michael E. Porter, it is a connected series of organizations, resources, and knowledge streams involved in the creation and delivery of value to end customers. Value systems integrate supply chain activities, from determination of customer needs through product/service development, production/operations and distribution, including (as appropriate) first-, second-, and third-tier suppliers. The objective of value systems is to position organizations in the supply chain to achieve the highest levels of customer satisfaction and value while effectively exploiting the competencies of all organizations in the supply chain.
