A cash account is a real account because it represents a tangible asset owned by a business, appearing on the balance sheet and carrying its balance forward to the next accounting period. It follows the rule of "debit what comes in, credit what goes out".
A cash account is a type of brokerage account in which the investor must pay the full amount for securities purchased. An investor using a cash account is not allowed to borrow funds from his or her broker-dealer in order to pay for transactions in the account (trading on margin).
Nominal accounts are temporary accounts, recording and keeping track of your profits, revenues, expenses, losses and other key debit and credit items of the financials. As they are temporary accounts, transferring and adjusting funds in a permanent or real account is important in the next financial year.
A real account is an account that will always be a part of a company's books once opened. For this reason, real accounts are also called permanent accounts. They carry their balance forward at the end of each accounting period. Balance sheet accounts: assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity are real accounts.
How we record this cash in the books of business is the cash-in-hand journal entry. It is an entry in which we debit the cash in hand if cash comes in and we credit when cash goes out. The cash-in-hand journal entry is one of the initial but essential journal entries in bookkeeping.

Depositing $2,000 in cash isn't inherently suspicious and is well below the $10,000 reporting threshold for banks, but it can raise flags if it's part of a pattern (structuring), inconsistent with your normal income, or involves other red flags like frequent large cash deposits from others, leading to a potential Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
