Petty cash is a current asset and should be listed as a debit on the company balance sheet. To initially fund a petty cash account, the accountant should write a check made out to Petty Cash for the desired amount of cash to keep on hand and then cash the check at the company's bank.
FDIC Insurance for Trust Bank Accounts The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures bank accounts in the event of a bank failure. If you have more than the FDIC limit at a bank that fails, you could lose all or part of the amount that is not covered by the FDIC insurance. Coverage for living trust accounts. Living trust accounts for each trust owner are insured up to $250,000 (subject to some limitations) per beneficiary, regardless of whether the beneficiary is a close relative of the trustor.
The FDIC and its reserves are not funded by public funds; member banks' insurance dues are the FDIC's primary source of funding. The FDIC also has a US$100 billion line of credit with the United States Department of the Treasury. Only banks are insured by the FDIC; credit unions are insured up to the same insurance limit by the National Credit Union Administration, which is also a government agency. As of August 27, 2014, the FDIC insured deposits at 6,638 institutions.
