Use of Funds

 

Petty cash should be used for incidental items of expense up to twenty-five dollars ($25). The cost of money orders or cashier checks can be included.

 

Disbursement of Cash

 

1)     Petty cash expenditures must be covered by a printed voucher form. This should be completed and signed by the person receiving reimbursement from the fund and/or the custodian of the petty cash fund.

 

2)     All purchases reimbursed by petty cash must be evidenced by a receipt, sales slip, canceled check or some proof of purchase.

 

3)       Vouchers must be approved by the custodian of petty cash funds.

 

4)      Do not mingle cash collected from books, fines, fees, etc., with petty cash funds.

 

Replenishing of Funds

2)       Petty cash expense can be charged to any regular budget code.

 

3)     A claim form and petty cash journal record is required when submitting a claim. These reports together with the signed vouchers and receipts must be forwarded to the business office each time the fund is to be replenished.

 

4)      Accounts Payable verifies the coding of each petty cash receipt.

 

5)       After verification has taken place checks are made out to the custodian of petty cash.
