Bank Overdraft
● Happens when cash in bank account has a credit balance.
○ Remember that in your basic accounting, cash has a normal
balance of debit.
● Bank overdraft occurs when there is issuance of checks in excess of
the deposit.
○ Example: Company A issued a check amounting to P1,000,000;
however, its savings account only has P800,000 balance.
Therefore, there is an overdraft amounting to P200,000.
● Classification of Bank Overdraft: Current Liability
○ This because the entity issuing the check has the obligation to
pay for the excess amount.
Bank Overdraft
● Moreover, a bank overdraft should NOT be offsetted against
the balance of other bank accounts with debit balances.
○ This means that if there is a bank overdraft, such
overdraft must be presented separately as a current
liability.
● Example: Drake Company maintains two bank accounts:
○ Toosie Bank Account – with credit balance of
P100,000
○ Slide Bank Account – with debit balance of
P1,000,000.
