 DOUBLE COLUMN CASH BOOK

This is a cash book that takes care of both cash and bank. It is called a double-column cash book because it has a cash and book column on both the debit and credit side.

The cash column is used for recording cash and cheque received while the credit side is used for recording all payments made by cheque and cash received and paid into the bank.

The debit side is for receipt of cash and cheque and the credit side is for payment.
