11 August 2012 you need to pay electricity bill of March.
which you paid on 6th April
in cash basis you will entered in 6th April it means next year
but in accrual basis you will booked it on 31st March it means this year.
this is the base difference

11 August 2012 Cash basis means you book all expenses and liabilities as and when you make the payment

Accrual basis means irrespective of any expenses paid or not but which is payable within the accounting year has to be provided. For example the auditor audits for the financial year say 1.4.2011 to 31.3.2012 but he audits after the year is ended say some times in the month of May, 2012 but his fee is due on 31.3.2012 so you have to pass the entry for audit fee as expenses and credit the auditor or audit fee payable as this has accrued on 31.3.2012


11 August 2012 1.In Cash Basis Accounting, INCOME OR EXPENDITURE IS BOOKED ONLY WHEN, IT IS ACTUALLY RECEIVED OR SPENT.

2. In Accrual Basis of Accounting, ONLY EXPENDITURE IS BOOKED EVEN THOUGH NOT ACTUALLY SPENT. BUT INCOME IS BOOKED ONLY AFTER ACTUAL RECEIPT.

Thanks for all Experts.
