  1. THEN YOU HAVE A CASH OVER AND SHORT

    THE ENTRY SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

    LIST ALL EXPENSES AND THERE PRICES(DEBITS)

    CREDIT CASH OVER AND SHORT

    CREDIT CASH


  2. can't be possible. If you start with $100 in petty cash fund, but you have $90 in receipts, but all the cah is gone..then you are missin a receipt and someone either stole the money or forgot to get a receipt so you can just likely call it a $10 miscellaneous expense to even it out to the $100 petty cash fund.

    If you started with a fund of $100 and have $110 in receipts

    then then the petty cash fund needs to be increased to $110

    first..and then the $110 in expenses are written off.

  3. All accounting is a logical flow of funds.

    If the petty cash fund is $200, and the petty cash vouchers equals $250, then petty cash owes someone $50.

    You cannot have negative cash, it is physically impossible.

    Someone took cash out of their own pocket, and put a voucher in the petty cash boxes with the intention of being repaid.

    petty cash $200

            bank   $200

    to set up petty cash

    expenses $250

        petty cash $200

        due to ??? $50

    to record vouchers

    petty cash $200

           bank   $200

    to replenish fund

  4. then it shouldt be taken out of petty cash it should be payed from accounts payable
