We keep a petty cash float in the office — how do I control it without losing track of the details?

The best way to manage a petty cash float is an imprest system: fix the float at a set amount, require a receipt or invoice for every expense paid out of it, and when it's replenished, top it back up to exactly that same fixed amount, matched to the receipts submitted. If the receipts don't add up to what's actually missing from the float, that gap needs to be chased down immediately, not left for later.

It also matters that a single person is responsible for the float, rather than several people dipping into it, and that there's a clear cap on what kinds of expenses the float can cover — small day-to-day items only, not large purchases or payments to major suppliers. RASEEKH helps put a simple, clear petty cash policy in place, so it stays reviewable at any point without confusion.
