Question
What do you understand by Imprest amount in petty cash book?
Solution
Imprest amount is an amount of money given by the main cashier to the petty cashier in the beginning of a period.
At the end of the period, the amount spent by the petty cashier gets reimbursed in such a manner, that he has the same amount of cash in hand in the beginning of next period.
For example, if the main cashier gives an imprest amount of Rs 1,000 to the petty cashier on April 01, 2011 and at the end of the month the petty expenses amount to be Rs 850, which is spent by the petty cashier during the month.
In this case, Rs 850 will be reimbursed, so, that on May 01, 2011, the petty cashier will have Rs 1,000 at his disposable to meet petty expenses for the next month.
