Subsidiary Books - Cash Transaction
CASH BOOK A cash book is a special journal which is used to record all cash receipts and cash payments. The cash book is a book of original entry or prime entry since transactions are recorded for the first time from the source documents. The cash book is a ledger in the sense that it is designed in the form of a cash account and records cash receipts on the debit side and cash payments on the credit side. Thus, the cash book is both a journal and a ledger. Cash Book will always show DEBIT BALANCE as cash payments can never exceed cash available.

PETTY CASH BOOK Petty means small. In every organisation, a large number of small payments such as conveyance, carriage, cartage, postage, telegrams and other expenses (collectively recorded under miscellaneous expenses) are made. These are generally repetitive in nature. If all these payments are handled by the cashier and are recorded in the main cash book, the procedure is found to be very cumbersome. The cashier may be overburdened and the cash book may become very bulky. To avoid this, large organisations normally appoint one more cashier (petty cashier) and maintain a separate cash book to record these transactions. Such a cash book maintained by petty cashier is called petty cash book.
PETTY CASH BOOK cont. The petty cashier works on the Imprest system. Imprest means money advanced on loan. Under this system, a definite sum, say Rs. 2,000 is given to the petty cashier at the beginning of a certain period. This amount is called imprest amount. The petty cashier goes on making all small payments out of this imprest amount and when he has spent the substantial portion of the imprest amount say Rs.1,780, he gets reimbursement from the head cashier after submitting the petty cash book to the head cashier and satisfying the accounts with the vouchers. Thus, he again has the full imprest amount in the beginning of the next period. The reimbursement may be made on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, depending on the frequency of small payments. (In certain cases, the petty cash system is operated through the main cash book itself. In such instances, the petty cash book is not maintained independently.)
PETTY CASH BOOK contd. Petty Cash Book contd. As in the case of any other cash book, petty cash book also has the debit side and the credit side. The debit side has very infrequent entries because cash receipt by the petty cashier is mainly from the cashier at the beginning or close of a specified period. The credit side has many columns. For each important petty expenses there is a seperate column, These analytical columns helps to know the actual amount spent on each and every type of petty expenses for the specified period.
PETTY CASH BOOK contd. Petty Cash Book contd. Each petty payment is first entered in the total payments column, and then recorded in the respective analytical column, so that i. the total amount spent on each expenses for a particular period can be easily ascertained by adding up the respective column. ii. only the periodical total of each column is posted to the ledger. iii. the total petty payment for any period can be easily ascertained from the total payments column. The analytical petty cash book may be designed according to the requirements of the business.
