What are some good templates for petty cash slips?

Several websites provide templates for petty cash slips, including BusinessFormTemplate.com and PrintableCashReceipts.com. Business owners can make their own templates as well. The slip should contain the amount, date, the reason for the disbursement, and the name of the person who receives the cash, advises Accounting Coach.

Businesses use petty cash slips to keep accurate accounting records so they know where the petty cash goes and when to replenish the petty cash fund. Petty cash funds are typically small. Businesses use petty cash to pay for quick, non-routine purchases for inexpensive items or services, such as pens, coffee supplies or postage, explains About.com. The person receiving the funds should provide a receipt or proof of the purchase or service supplied, if possible, according to Accounting Coach.
