You can never have a balance b/d on the credit side of the cash account (it is impossible to physically spend more cash than you have). Take care with discounts: trade discounts do not appear in the cash book or double-entry accounts. Cash discounts do appear in the cash book: these are discounts given for early settlement, not necessarily for cash payments. Tips
