Recording of Transactions - II

Petty Cash Book

Petty Cash Book

In every organisation, a large number of small payments such as conveyance, cartage, postage etc. are made. These are generally repetitive in nature.

If all these payments are handled by the main cashier and are recorded in the cash book, the cashier may be overburdened and the cash book may become very bulky.

Petty Cash Book

To avoid this, large organisations normally appoint one more cashier (petty cashier) and maintain a separate cash book to record these transactions. Such a cash book maintained by petty cashier is called petty cash book.

Advantages of maintaining Petty Cash Book

1. Saving of Time and efforts of chief cashier.

2. Effective control over cash disbursements.

3. Convenient recording.

Imprest System

Under this system, a definite sum, say Rs. 2,000 is given to the petty cashier at the beginning of a certain period. This amount is called imprest amount.

The petty cashier goes on making all small payments out of this imprest amount and when he has spent the substantial portion of the imprest amount say Rs.1,780, he gets reimbursement of the amount spent from the head cashier. Thus, he again has the full imprest amount in the beginning of the next period.

The reimbursement may be made on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
