Q. Prepare a source document?

A source document typically supports the evidence of the transaction. A source document is any printed or written evidence of a business transaction that describes the essential facts of that transaction. Illustration of source documents are receipts for cash paid or received and checks written or received and bills sent to customers for services performed or bills received from suppliers for items purchased, sales tickets, cash register tapes and notes given or received. We handle source documents continually in our everyday life. Every source document initiates the process of recording a transaction.
