Estonia has two business accounting systems – accrual and cash accounting.
- Accounting in Estonian companies is conducted on an accrual basis, but entrepreneurs – natural persons are allowed to keep accounting on a cash basis.
- In the case of accrual-based accounting, transactions should be recorded as they occurred, regardless of whether the money was received or paid.
