Accounting system
Glossary of Capital Budgeting and Infrastructure Governance, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2018, suggests that the concept of an accounting system: ‘…refers to the system for recording financial transactions. The two major accounting systems are cash-based accounting and accrual-based accounting. Cash-based accounting systems recognise transactions and events when cash is received or paid, whereas accrual-based accounting is a system in which revenue is recognised when it is earned and expenses are recognised as they are incurred.’
