Answer 2

Cash basis refers to a major accounting method that recognizes revenues and expenses at the time cash is received or paid out. This contrasts accrual accounting, which recognizes income at the time the revenue is earned and records expenses when liabilities are incurred regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Explanation:

When transactions are recorded on a cash basis, they affect a company's books upon exchange of consideration; therefore, cash basis accounting is less accurate than accrual accounting in the short term. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 prohibits the cash basis accounting method from being used for C corporations, tax shelters, certain types of trusts, and partnerships that have C Corporation partners.
