Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding cash-basis accounting?

The correct answer is B. Under cash-basis accounting, revenues and expenses are recorded based on the movement of cash. Revenue is recorded when cash is received, and expenses are recorded when cash is paid, regardless of when goods are delivered, services are performed, or obligations are incurred. Options A and C describe accrual-basis concepts. Accrual accounting records revenue when earned and matches related expenses to the same accounting period. Option D is incorrect because cash-basis accounting is generally simpler than accrual-basis accounting, although it can provide a less complete picture of financial performance. The ACFE materials emphasize that accrual accounting gives a truer financial picture and is required under GAAP.
