What is 'Imprest'. An imprest is a cash account that a business uses to pay for small, routine expenses. A fixed balance is maintained in the account, and it is replenished routinely to maintain that balance. Alternatively, an imprest can refer to a monetary advance given to a person for a specific purpose.
The most common way of accounting for petty cash expenditures is to use the imprest system. The initial fund would be created by issuing a cheque for the desired amount. An amount of $100 would typically be sufficient for most small business needs as the expenses to be covered are for small amounts.he bookkeeping entry for this initial fund would be to debit Petty Cash and credit bank account. As expenditures are made, the custodian of the fund will reimburse employees and receive a petty cash voucher with a receipt/invoice attached in return.
