What is a petty cash book?

Short Note

Business entities have to pay various small expenses like taxi fare, bus fare, postage, carriage, stationery, refreshment and other sundry items.
These are small payments and repetitive in nature.
If all these small payments are recorded in the main cash book, it will be loaded with a lot of entries.
Hence, all petty payments of the business may be recorded in a separate book, which is called a petty cash book, and the person who maintains the petty cash book is called the petty cashier.
