Petty cash typically does not fall under Accounts Payable; instead, it is a separate cash fund used for small, everyday expenses that are impractical to pay through checks or electronic transfers. However, if petty cash is used to cover expenses that are later reimbursed or recorded as liabilities, those reimbursements could be reflected in accounts payable. Generally, accounts payable refers to amounts owed to suppliers or creditors for goods and services received, while petty cash is meant for immediate, minor expenditures.
