What is Receipt and Payment Account?
Receipt and payment account functions as a summary of cash payments and receipts of an organisation during an accounting period. It provides a picture of the cash position of a Not-for-Profit organisation. It does not differentiate between the receipts and payments, whether they are of capital or revenue in nature and records all cash and bank transactions of both capital and revenue nature.
Receipt and payment account does not include any non-cash transactions such as depreciation. The Receipt and payment account is prepared at the end of an accounting period.
