Receipts and cash receipts are documents used to record payments and confirm funds received. They are important for accounting and financial management in a business.
A receipt is a document issued by a company upon receipt of payment, while a cash register is a fiscal document issued by a cash register. Both documents serve to verify payment, but a cash register is mandatory in commercial transactions.
Proper use of receipts ensures accurate recording of funds received, facilitates accounting processes and prevents financial abuse. They also serve as evidence in disputes with customers or partners.
