How to start and maintain a Petty Cash Book?
Most major corporations maintain a ledger, whether manual or via a computer program, where the finance department records incoming and outgoing adjustments to the company's cash. Most companies also have a petty cash account for smaller, immediate needs for cash such as postage or a pizza lunch. Recording petty cash entries within main ledgers is not very efficient, which is why a petty cash book is also maintained. In a Fixed Advance system, a fixed amount is assigned to a person who will manage the petty cash account. This amount will appear in the main ledger as an indication of the assigned cash, but also in the separate petty cash book as a beginning balance. Then, each transaction from petty cash will be recorded in the petty cash book, normally in a column specific to the intended purpose; in the two earlier examples, the postage stamps would appear in a postage account and the pizza lunch may be in an employee welfare account. Then at the end of a specified period (usually a month), the totals of each column are moved to the main ledger to reflect the expense, and also the cash used is replenished so the new fiscal period brings a full account. This allows for cash to be available to petty cash, and clear organization of the account. In an open system, the fixed amount assigned is used until spent, at which time, the amount is replenished and the expenses recorded. This would be more efficient in a scenario where the petty cash account is rarely used, or used so often that the account must be regularly replenished. However, in this latter example, the company may find that a higher amount is needed in petty cash. In an imprest system, the petty cash administrator estimates what the petty cash expenses will be for the month, and this is the amount assigned to the account. This is the most often used type, as it requires less replenishments and doesn't end the period with too much cash in the petty cash, where it is unable to gain interest as it would in other uses. The petty cash book is a method to increase organization and efficiency in accounting records for an organization. The method choice depends on the individual needs of the business.
What is the meaning of imprest account?
An imprest account is one that always has the same balance; an exact amount of cash in deposited into the account for a known specific future purpose (such as an upcoming payroll), and the same amount leaves the account when the funds for that purpose are expended. The best example is Petty Cash. To start a Petty Cash fund, a firm initially writes and cashes a check for $250 (Dr. Petty Cash, Cr. Operating Account Cash), and puts the $250 cash in the office Petty Cash box. When a small purchase is made by an employee for the office (for stamps, etc), the employee is reimbursed from the Petty Cash box, and puts her receipt for the amount she was reimbursed in the Petty Cash box. The total in the box, between cash and receipts, is always $250. When the amount of petty cash left on hand in the office gets low and the Petty Cash funds must be replenished, the company writes and cashes a check for an amount equal to the total of all the receipts in the box, debiting the appropriate expense accounts and crediting Operating Account Cash. Cash in the amount of the check goes into the Petty Cash box, to bring the total Petty Cash back up to $250. No entry is made to the Petty Cash account since its balance should always be the original amount funded (in this example, $250).
