CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

To understand the concept of cash equivalents.
To identify items considered cash.
To identify items considered cash equivalents.
To know the accounting for petty cash fund.Definition of cash
From the point of view of a layman, “cash” simply meang
money,
Money is the standard medium of exchange in businegg
transactions.
Money refers to the currency and coins which are in
circulation and legal tender.
However, in the accounting parlance, the term (ee has a
special and broader meaning. It connotes more than money.
As contemplated in accounting, cash includes money and any
other negotiable instrument that is payable in money and
acceptable by the bank for deposit and immediate credit,
Accordingly, cash includes checks, bank drafts and money
orders because these are acceptable by the bank for deposit
or immediate encashment.
For example, when checks are received in full settlement of an
account receivable, cash is immediately debited.
But postdated checks received cannot be considered as cash
yet because these checks are unacceptable by the bank for
deposit and immediate credit or outright encashment.
Unrestricted cash
There is no specific standard dealing with "cash",
The only poidance is found in PAS 1, paragraph 66, which
provides that an entity shall classify an asset as current when
the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted to
settle a liability for more than twelve months after the end of
the reporting period.
Accordingly, to be reported as “cash”,
" » an item must be
unrestricted in use.
This meang that the cash must be readily available in the
payment of current obligations and not be subject to any
restrictions, contractual or otherwise,
2Cash items included in cash
a. Cash on hand — This includes undeposited cash
collections and other cash items awaiting deposit suc h

c. Cash fund set aside for current purposes such 4s petty
cash fund, payroll fund and dividend fund.
Cash equivalents
PAS 7, paragraph 6, defines cash equivalents as short:
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cas!
and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of
changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
The standard further states that only highly liquid
investments that are acquired three months before maturity
can qualify as cash equivalents.
Examples of cash equivalents are:
a. Three-month BSP treasury bill
b. Three-year BSP treasury bill purcha.

sed three months
Equity securities cannot qualify as cash equivalents because
shares do not have a maturity date.
However, preference shares with specified redemption date
and acquired three months before redemption date can
qualify as cash equivalents.
Note that what is important is the date of purchase which
should be three months or less before maturity.
Thus, a BSP treasury bill that was purchased one year ago
cannot qualify as cash equivalent even if the yemaining maturity
is three months or less.hiehhy paragraph 6, defines cash equivalents as short-term ana

Note that what is important is the date of purchase which
should be three months or less before maturity.
Thus, a BSP treasury bill that was purchased one year ago
cannot qualify as cash equivalent even if the remaining maturity
is three months or less.Investment of excess cash
The control and proper use of cash is an Sa ee of ash
management. Basically, the entity must mai ufficient cash
for use in current operations.
Any cash accumulated in excess of that needed for curren,
Operations should be invested even temporarily in some type of
revenue earning investment.
Accordingly, excess cash may be invested in time deposits,
money market instruments and treasury bills for the purpose
of earning interest income.
Classifications of investment of excess cash
Investments in time deposit, money market instruments and
treasury bills should be classified as follows:
a. If the term is three months or less, such instruments are
classified as cash equivalents and therefore included in
the caption “cash and cash equivalents”.
b. Ifthe term is more than three months but within one year,
such investments are classified as short-term financial
assets or temporary investments and presented separately
as current assets.
c. If the term is more than one year, such investments are
classified as noncurrent or long-term investments,
However, if such investments become due within one year
from the end of the reporting period, they are reclassified
as current or temporary investments,Measurement of cash
Cash is measured at face value.
Cash in foreign currency is measured at the current exchange
Ifa Bank or financial institution holding the funds of an entity
is in bankruptcy or financial difficulty, cash should be written
down to estimated realizable value if the amount recoverable
is estimated to be lower than the face value.
Financial statement presentation
The caption cash and cash equivalents should be shown as
the first line item under current assets.
‘This caption includes all cash items, such as cash on hand,
cash in bank, petty cash fund and cash equivalents which are
unrestricted in use for current operations.
However, the details comprising the cash and cash equivalents
should be disclosed in the notes to financial statements.
Foreign currency
Cash in foreign currency should be translated to Philippine
pesos using the current exchange rate.
Deposits in foreign countries which are not subject to eny
foreign exchange restriction are included in “cash”.
Deposits in foreign bank which are subject to foreign exchange
restriction should be classified separately among noncurrent
assets and the restriction clearly indicated.
Cash fund for a certain purpose
If the cash fund is set aside for use in current operations or for
the payment of current obligation, it is a current asset.
The cash fund is included as part of cash and cash equivalents.
Examples of this fund are petty cash fund, payroll fund, travel
fund: interest fund, dividend fund and tax fund.
On the other hand, if the cash fund is set aside for noncurrent
purpose or payment of noncurrent obligation, it is shown as
long-term investment.
Examples of this fund are sinking fund, preference share
redemption fund, contingent fund, insurance fund and fund for
acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment.

Bank overdraft
When the cash in bank account has 2 credit balance, itis s
to be an overdraft. The credit balance in the cash in bank
account results from the issuance of checks in excess of the
deposits.
A bank overdraft is classified as a current liability and should
not be offset against other bank accounts with debit balances.
For example, an entity maintains two bank accounts:
a. Cashin bank — First Bank, which is overdrawn by P10,000.
b. Cash in bank ~ Second Bank, with a debit balance of
P100,000.
The net cash balance is P90,000.
The proper statement classification of the two accounts is as

and one account results in an overdraft, such overdraft can
be offset against the other bank account with a debit balance
in order to show cash, net of bank overdraft or bank overdraft,

An overdraft can also be offset against the other bank account
if the amount is not material.

A stale check is a check not encashed by the payee within a
relatively long period of time
The question is how long a time must the check remain
outstanding?
The Negotiable Instruments Law provides that where the
instrument is payable on demand, presentment must be made
within a reasonable time after issue.
In determining what is a reasonable time, consideration
should be made regarding the nature of the instrument, the
usage of trade or business, if any, with respect to such
instrument and the facts of the particular case.
Clearly, the law does not specify a definite period within
which checks must be presented for encashment. Reference
is made to usage of trade or business practice.
In banking practice, a check becomes stale if not encashed
within six months from the time of issuance. Of course, this
is a matter of entity policy.
Thus, even after three months only, the entity may issue a
stop payment order to the bank for the cancelation of a
previously issued check.
If the amount of stale check is immaterial, it is simply
accounted for as miscellaneous income.

requires that all cash receipts should be deposited intact and
all cash disbursements should be made by means of check
While internal control ideally requires that all payments should
be made by means of check, this is sometimes impossible
‘There are occasions when the issuance of checks becomes
impractical or inconvenient such as when small amounts are
paid or things are hurriedly bought or customers are
entertained.
Consequently, in such instances, it may be more economical
and convenient to pay in cash rather than issue checks.
Petty cash fund
The petty cash fund is money set aside to pay small expenses
which cannot be paid conveniently by means of check.
There are two methods of handling the petty cash, namely:
a. Imprest fund system
b. Fluctuating fund system

The system is called “fluctuating fund system” because the
checks drawn to replenish the fund do not necessarily equal
the petty cash disbursements.
The replenishment checks are simply drawn upon the request
of the petty cashier.
Moreover, petty cash disbursements are immediately recorded
thus resulting in a fluctuating petty cash balance per book from
time to time:
