When the money for the loan is received it is recorded as cash. Payments are not recorded until the actual payments are sent out. This will be recorded as a debit to a loan expense account and credited directly to cash. The interest is debited directly to an interest expense account and credited directly to cash for the same payment. A compound entry can be used for this purpose. There is no loan payable or interest payable accounts for cash basis accounting.
