Imprest Cash Fund is the designation given to monies advanced to departments from University funds to fill specific needs that cannot be accommodated through normal purchasing options.
The imprest is periodically replenished. See also: Petty cash. a system used to control the expenditure of petty cash. An opening balance of petty cash (called the imprest) is made available to cover the petty cash expenses for the next accounting period. At the end of the period, whatever cash has been spent is replenished to restore the petty cash balance. This system tends to limit any losses, for example, via fraud, because the maximum that can be misappropriated in any one period is the imprest or opening balance.
