Hi,

The cash basis and  accrual basis of accounting are two different methods used to record accounting transactions. The core underlying difference between the two methods is in the timing of transaction recordation. When aggregated over time, the results of the two methods are approximately the same. A brief description of each method follows:

  1. Cash basis: Revenue is recorded when cash is received from customers, and expenses are recorded when cash is paid to suppliers and employees.

  2. Accrual basis: Revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when consumed.

Accrual and cash  basis methods are supported in Odoo 12 accounting. With this income/expense at the time of transactions or payment can be reported. (Source: odoo 12 accounting )

Thanks

Just as an amendment to Niyas' good answer: this is mostly relevant to countries having a VAT regime. As an exception from the regular regime, many VAT countries allow small companies to file their VAT returns on a cash basis, as this puts less stress on liquidity.

From an economic point of view, the time of performance or consumption is relevant, because that is the time, when contractual obligations or valuation requirements arise, and not the time of payment. Therefore, as long as your company is not acknowledged by the tax authority for the cash basis reporting, or there is any other valid requirement, do not use cash basis method.

Based on the reasoning above it is obvious that the cash basis accounting does not comply with international accounting standards.
