I'm working with a non-banking finance company at its Regional Office. Our Accounts dept. is saying we are dealing crores of business, why should we maintain mannual Cash Book? For your information we have no standard accounting package and no huge volume of entries in our Regional office, average 25 entries per day. My opinion Book keeping is must sine we have no standard accounting package else preparing of accounts and statement not possible
