Abstract

Most of affiliated hospitals to colleges and universities are subordinate to the financial departments. Cash basis of accounting is used in these hospitals. But with the introduction of the new Financial Regulations for Institutions of Higher Learning, more requirements are imposed on cost accounting and performance appraisal, which makes the strengths of accrual basis of accounting more visible. In this paper, the author conducts a comparative study and draws a conclusion that adding accounts receivable and payable and accrual basis of accounting to the existing cash basis of accounting is conducive to the authenticity of financial information.
