Types of funds stored in the cash register
The following are subject to accounting through accounting account 50, allocated to reflect the funds in the cash register (Chart of Accounting Accounts, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated October 31, 2000 No. 94n):
- money in Russian and foreign currencies;
- monetary documents.
In accounting, money is necessarily divided by type of currency. In this case, foreign currencies are taken into account in two equivalents (foreign and Russian) and recalculated at their exchange rates on the dates of transactions and on the date of preparation of accounting reports (clause 4-8 of PBU 3/2006, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated November 27, 2006 No. 154n) .
Another principle of division is based on the location of the cash registers. In addition to the main cash register, an organization or individual entrepreneur may have operational cash desks that work with customers at their locations remote from the location of the main cash register (i.e., in separate divisions). Money received in the operating cash desk is handed over to the main cash desk daily or at certain intervals, but can also be transferred directly to the bank if a separate division is vested with such a right. In this case, compliance with the cash balance limit is of particular importance.
Monetary documents listed in the cash register include those paid for but not received by the person who will use them:
- stamps (postage, bills of exchange, state duties);
- travel tickets;
- vouchers;
- Gift certificates.
Cash documents are taken into account according to the actual costs of their acquisition, but in accounting they must be divided by type.
In order for all the rules for dividing the objects to be taken into account to be carried out correctly, the corresponding sub-accounts are allocated on account 50. The main ones are the Instructions for the Chart of Accounts (approved by Order No. 94n):
- 1 - corresponding to the types of the main cash register;
- 2 - corresponding to operating cash desks;
- 3 - intended for monetary documents.
However, each of these subaccounts can be divided additionally - based on the principles requiring their division.

Let's sum it up
- Cash transactions are understood as transactions performed with cash or monetary documents stored in the cash register. Accounting for these material assets is carried out on one general account (account 50), but is organized by highlighting in its analytics data relating to different currencies, different cash desks and documents of different types.
- All cash register transactions are divided into 2 groups: incoming and outgoing. The primary documents for their registration are cash receipts and expenditures. In each order, in addition to account 50 (with the analytics related to it), the accounts corresponding to account 50 with the analytics necessary for them are also indicated.
- In an accounting entry reflecting a cash transaction, there is always an indication of account 50. In the debit part of the entry, it appears in transactions of funds entering the cash register, and in the credit part, in transactions of withdrawal from the cash register. The range of corresponding accounts is quite wide, and this determines the variety of cash register entries. The main correspondence is given in the Chart of Accounts, but if necessary, their list can be expanded.
