How to record bank draft issuance
Recording the issuance of a bank draft where funds are immediately withdrawn from the company account.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Other Current Assets (Drafts in Transit) | Debit | 25,000.00 | - |
| Cash | Credit | - | 25,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Since the bank removes funds immediately upon draft issuance, cash is credited, and a temporary asset or specialized cash account is debited until the draft is delivered.
