The role of the journal
The main task of the journal is to put in order the movement of primary expenditure and receipt documents, so they must be registered immediately after creation. And only then can they be transferred to the cashier for further work (exceptions are orders for receiving wages, which are drawn up for one day, but cannot always be implemented in a timely manner).
In addition, the presence of a journal allows the management of the enterprise to avoid situations related to the unlawful use of payment documents. For this purpose, at the end of each working day, the company’s accountant must reconcile all entries made in the journal with the available stubs of “receipts” and “consumables”.
Also, a correctly completed journal in cases of tax audits allows you to quickly control the balance in the cash register (here it would be useful to remind you that when using the cash register, you should strictly adhere to the maximum allowable cash limit).
Why do you need a logbook for registration of PKO and RKO
The existing regulation on cash circulation (Law No. 86-FZ dated July 10, 2002) provides uniform rules that are mandatory for both organizations and banks.
According to Art. 34 of this law, the Bank of Russia establishes the procedure for conducting cash transactions by firms that must have a cash desk for receiving and issuing cash. Unused funds should be kept in a bank. When paying in cash for goods and services, the organization receiving the money must use a cash register to record the amount received. At the same time, a cash receipt order (PKO, form KO-1) is drawn up. If the amount received exceeds the cash balance limit, then the excess must be deposited at the bank. To do this, issue a cash receipt order (RKO, form KO-2). PKOs are also issued upon receipt of funds from the bank for the payment of salaries, accountable amounts, and travel expenses. RKOs are issued when money is issued for these purposes to specific employees of the company.
The procedure for conducting cash transactions is stipulated in the instruction of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation dated 03/11/14 No. 3210-U, which came into force on 06/01/2014. According to this instruction, all transactions for issuing or receiving money are recorded in primary documents (PKO and RKO), after which they must be reflected in the registration journal (form KO-3). All these forms are approved by the State Statistics Committee (Resolution No. 88 dated August 18, 1998).
The requirements for primary documents can be found in the article “Primary document: requirements for the form and the consequences of its violation.”

What documents must be recorded in the journal
The journal for registering incoming and outgoing cash documents must contain:

Let’s simulate a situation where one employee’s salary is deposited and the rest are paid. In the paper version of the statement, the corresponding mark is placed on the deposited amounts. In 1C, when accounting for cash transactions, you should open the statement and use the Create based button, then Salary Deposit. For the deposition document, we leave the names we need.

Is it possible to do without a logbook?
By law, companies working with cash register equipment are required to maintain cash discipline. One of its basic rules states that all documents must be registered in a special journal. Moreover, if an organization violates this norm, in the event of a tax audit it faces administrative punishment in the form of a large fine (in this case, both the legal entity itself and its director are subject to punishment).
I was in a hurry and got fined
The issuance of accountable money was formalized by an expenditure cash order (clause 6 of instruction No. 3210-U). Since the contractor's office was located in the same building, the transaction of payment for the car did not take much time for both parties.
However, the joy of both companies was short-lived - the tax inspector who came on the same day fined both companies under clause 1 of Art. 15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for cash payments with other companies in excess of the established limit.
Important! Currently, there is a restriction on cash payments between merchants: no more than 100,000 rubles. under one agreement (clause 6 of the Bank of Russia Directive dated October 7, 2013 No. 3073-U “On cash payments”). For more information about who checks cash discipline and what fines may be imposed, see the material “Are your cash discipline in order?”
Both companies were fined because they were liable for exceeding the limit of 100,000 rubles. provided for in Art. 15.1 Code of Administrative Offenses for participants in cash payments, which are both the seller and the buyer.
If companies were not in a hurry to pay in cash and had studied the legislative framework in advance, unforeseen penalties in the amount of 50,000 rubles would have been incurred. for each company and 5,000 rubles. – for their leaders could have been avoided. If the inspector came with an inspection 2 months later, there would be no fine, since a 2-month statute of limitations is established for such a violation (clause 1 of Article 4.5 of the Administrative Code).
Rules for compiling a journal for registering incoming and outgoing cash documents
Today, there are several ways to keep a journal, since there is no single unified sample that is mandatory for use. Enterprises can maintain a document in any form or according to a template developed and approved in the company’s accounting policy, or use a previously generally applicable form. In this case, the log must contain a number of mandatory information:
- name of the enterprise and structural unit whose property is the document;
- organization code according to OKPO (All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations);
- year or other period for which it is maintained;
- personal data of the employee directly related to its filling: his position, full name.
Basic information is presented in the form of a table into which data on all cash documents is entered in chronological order: on the left side about receipts, on the right side about expenses. For each of them, the following are entered in the corresponding cells:

- the amount that passes through it
- note.
All lines are required to be filled out, including a note - it provides an explanation for a particular payment document.
