As the name suggests, Petty cash is the petite or small amount of cash that is required and is usually available to make small purchases in any organizations. It is usually kept in the cashier’s office and used to make payments for miscellaneous items like stationary supplies, birthday cakes etc. for which it is not practical to make payments through cheque and electronic transfers. Petty cash is a tricky area to manage mostly in organizations with their presence in different locations. However, it needs to be managed in the same way as your other assets in the business are being managed.
Employees often forget to bring back receipts, cash funds might tend to disappear and in scenarios like that summarizing multiple expenditures is a daunting and time consuming task. A financial statement that has numerous payments referred to as “petty cash” is very misleading and is the worst thing that can happen. The main aim for having a petty cash fund in any organization is to record small cash expenditures as expenses. If you are helping your employer in handling petty cash then in situations like above will put you in the risk of getting blamed if things go wrong. In order to have a balance to this system, you should outsource your petty cash management to a trusted expert to experience a fail-safe cash system to rely on.
