Which of the following is NOT a cause of difference between cash book and pass book?
ATiming of recording entries
BBank charges debited by bank
CCash sales recorded in books
DTransactions recorded only by bank
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Cash sales recorded in books
1. The three broad categories of causes are timing differences, transactions done only by one party, and errors.
2. Bank charges debited by the bank fall under transactions known only to the bank initially.
3. Cash sales are routine receipts entered the same way in cash book and don't produce a bank-vs-cash-book difference at all.
4. Hence option D is the odd one out.
