THE VOUCHER SYSTEM AND ACCOUNTING CHARTS
VOUCHER SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING
1. _Voucher._ A document which vouches the truth of accounts.
_Receipt._ An acknowledgment of money paid.
The voucher system is sometimes referred to as a modern system of
accounting, but a study of the above standard definitions indicates
that it is modern only in respect to forms of records and routine.
In the nomenclature of accounting the term voucher is quite commonly
used in the same sense as the term receipt. The only distinction
appears to be that a voucher is usually understood to be an
acknowledgment of the payment of a particular item on account, while
a receipt may be an acknowledgment of the payment of money without
reference to the item or items covered.
