ABC Pvt Ltd has outsourced their staff from XYZ Pvt Ltd and pays through cheque which the latter comes and distribute among the formers staff.

Suppose the XYZ raises the Bill on 4th May 2013 and send it to ABC for the staffs salary for month of April 2013. Shouldnt the salary expenses be booked on 30th April and the date of raising invoice immaterial?

Normally in business either you outsource your staff or not, salary is paid near 7th of next month, and the entry is passed on the day when payment is made, for every month's salary entry is made in next month, and in narration we write the month (like in above case April), and when cheque is issued after 30th april we cannot made entry on 30th april.

It is bcoz if I use payment basis then monthly expenses would not be reflected correctly in the books as previous months expenses would be reflected in the current month.
