THE ANALYTICAL PETTY CASH BOOK AND THE IMPREST SYSTEM

The analytical petty cash book is a cash book created for recording small frequent cash payments in the operations of a business. In this cash book an analysis column is maintained for each expense heading. The total of each column is transferred to the debit of the appropriate ledger account at the end of the period or some other desirable interval. The following are its advantages:

(1)   The handling and recording of small cash payments could be delegated to a junior staff known as petty cashier to save the main cashier from routine work.

(2)   It would save the cash book and the ledgers from small frequent entries by reducing the number of entries, per period, to be made in them.

 

The Imprest System: This is a system in which the cashier gives enough cash to the petty cashier to meet the petty cash needs for the following period. At the end of the period or when the petty cash is almost exhausted, the petty cashier shall apply for reimbursement of an amount equal to the total amount disbursed. That regular amount maintained as petty cash is known as petty cash float.

Example:

The following is a summary of petty cash transactions of a business organization for the month of June 2014. The business maintains a petty cash float of N50,000.
