Debit: Profit & Loss Account

Credit: Cash In Hand or Petty Cash

Nature of Debit is Expense and the nature of Credit is Asset.

If you have an account already open for such Losses then you should debit such account. For example in my company Cash loss is usual Case so we have an Account titled "Cash Lost Expense"

In my cash I will pass the entry as

Correct entry to replenish petty cash?

Typically, a company would write a check in the amount needed to bring the petty cash box back to the imprest amount. So, if the petty cash account has a balance of $200, but there is only $50 in cash in the petty cash box, they would write a check for $150...usually to the Office Manager or whoever is responsible for petty cash. The debit side of the entry is to the various expense accounts supported by the receipts or vouchers in the box: postage expense, office expense, misc. expense, etc. Of course, the credit side of the entry is to cash. The only time you ever make an entry to an imprest petty cash account is when you first set it up, or if you increase or decrease the imprest amount. In the example above, if the receipts in the box did not total $150, you would still write the check for $150 and have an entry to an expense account called cash over/short.

What is impress account?

An imprest account is an account that always has the same balance. There are usually no entries made to this type of account (unless you wanted to increase or decrease the imprest amount). A good example is Petty Cash. You open the account by writing a check for, say $250. (Debit Petty Cash, Credit Cash.) The funds are kept in a locked cash box and used to make small incidental purchases (stamps, donuts for a company meeting, etc.). A receipt or voucher is placed in the cash box for each purchase. The cash box always contains $250 in cash and receipts. When the amount of cash is getting low (perhaps under $20), A check is written (and cashed) to replenish the petty cash box. The debits are to the various expense accounts (Postage, Office Expense, etc.) and the credit is to Cash (just like any other check). Then, the cash box is back to $250 in cash and no receipts (they were attached to the check stub). As you see, there was not a second entry to the Petty Cash account. Some companies will have a separate checking account for Payroll which is an imprest account. The account is opened in the same fashion and each pay period, the exact total amount needed for payroll is transferred to that account. The payroll expenses and tax liabilities are recorded in total (as opposed to posting each individual paycheck) and the offset is to the account where the transfer originated. Again, no entries are made to the imprest account.

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).
