This cash is used for transactions that are too small to warrant writing a check or using a credit card.

To provide a convenient way to handle small, everyday expenses without the need for complex accounting procedures. A fixed amount of money is allocated to a petty cash fund, which is managed by a custodian. When the petty cash fund is low, the custodian submits receipts for the expenditures to the accounting department, which then replenishes the fund. Each transaction made from the petty cash fund is recorded in a petty cash log, noting the date, amount, purpose, and person responsible for the expenditure.
