Many companies, small and large, generally set up what is called a Petty Cash Fund. The Petty Cash Fund is used internally to make very small purchases like stamps at the post office, buying office or hardware supplies at a local store, paying repairmen and repairwomen for minor internal repairs, and the like. Each expenditure made out of the Petty Cash Fund is to be supported by receipts which are then used to record expenditures made out of the Petty Cash Fund. The Petty Cash Fund is then reimbursed up to a standard amount via checks from the main checking account.
