Definition of Cash
Cash includes money and other negotiable instrument that is payable in money and
acceptable by the bank for deposit and immediate credit. It includes cash on hand,
demand deposits and other items that are unrestricted for use in the current
operations.
a. Cash on hand
1. undeposited dated cutomer’s checks or customer’s checks awaiting
deposit
2. Traveler’s check
3. Cashier’s/ Treasurer’s and Manager’s checks
4. Postal money orders (a demand credit instrument issued and payable by

of money to the order of the maker)
b. Cash in bank

Cash Equivalents
are short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and
so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of
changes in interest rates.
Examples:
1. Time deposit
- acquired within three months from maturity date
2. Money market instrument and commercial paper
3. Treasury bills
4. Redeemable preference shares with mandatory redemption period and
acquired three months before maturity.
If an item cannot be included as cash equivalent because it did not qualify the
cut-off time period ( ie three months), it will always be classified as
investments (short term or long term) depending on the period up to
maturity.
If the problem is silent with regard to:
1. Treasury note – assumed investment
2. Cash in money market account – cash and cash equivalent
3. Time deposit – cash and cash equivalent
