    Cash and cash equivalents

     Cash – comprises cash on hand, cash in bank and cash treasury accounts.

    Adjustments for Unreleased Commercial Checks


     Unreleased checks are checks drawn but not yet given to the payees as of the
    end of the period. These are reverted back to cash as follows:

    Date Cash in Bank. Local Currency-Current xx


    Accounts Payable (or other liability xx
    account)

     Unreleased checks are not physically cancelled. At the start of the following year,
    the adjusting entry above is reversed to recognize the availability of the checks
    for release.
     This procedure does not apply to the “Cash – Modified Disbursement System
    (MDS)” account because there is no actual cash with the Government Servicing
    Bank.

    Accounting for Cancelled Checks


     Checks are cancelled when they become stale, spoiled or voided. A check is
    considered stale if it has been outstanding for over 6 months from its date.
     Replacement checks may be issued for cancelled checks that were already
    released to payees, upon submission of the cancelled checks to the Accounting
    Unit.
     Cancelled checks are reverted back to cash as follows:

    Curren Cash – Modified Disbursement System, Regular xx


    t year Accounts Payable xx
    To recognize the cancellation of stale/voided/spoiled MDS checks in current year

    Prior Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit) xx


    year Accounts Payable xx
    To recognize the cancellation of stale/voided/spoiled MDS checks in prior year

     For prior period MDS checks, the “Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit)” account is


    debited. This is because, again, the “Cash – Modified Disbursement System
    (MDS)” account is zeroed-out at the end of each period.
     For cancelled commercial checks, the “Cash in Bank – Local Currency,
    Current” account is debited for both current year and prior period.
     If a replacement check is issued, the replacement check is recorded in the
    regular manner, i.e, Debit to Accounts Payable and Credit to Cash.
