b) Payment of expenses out of the fund- No formal journal entries are made. The petty
cashier generally requires a signed petty cash voucher for such payments and simply
prepares memorandum entries in the petty cash journal.
c) Replenishment of petty cash payments- whenever the petty cash fund runs low, a check
is drawn to replenish the same. The replenishment check is usually equal to the petty
cash disbursements. It is at this time that the petty cash disbursements are recorded as
follows:
Appropriate Expense Account XX

Cash in Bank XX
It is to be pointed out that the petty cash and revolving fund disbursements should be
replenished only by means of check and not from undeposited collections.
d) At the end of the accounting period, it is necessary to adjust the unreplenished expenses
in order to state the correct petty cash balance as follows:

the normal replenishment procedures may be followed by simply debiting expenses and
crediting cash in bank without distinguishing whether the expenses pertain to the current
period or prior period.
