basis of accounting

Definition

Method used to determine when revenues and expenses (with associated assets and liabilities) are recognized in the accounts of a firm, and reported in its financial statements.

In cash basis accounting, however, revenues and expenses are recognized only when cash is received or paid, irrespective of the timing of actual sales or purchases.
