(2a) An imprest system of petty cash means that the general ledger account Petty Cash will remain dormant at a constant amount. If the amount of petty cash is 10,000, then the Petty Cash account will always report a debit balance of 10,000. This 10,000 is the imprest balance.
As long as 10,000 is adequate for the organization's small disbursements, then the general ledger account Petty Cash will never be debited or credited again.
When the currency and coins on hand gets low, the petty cash custodian will request a check to replenish the coins and currency that were disbursed. Since the requested check is drawn on the organization's checking account, the Cash account will be credited. The debits will go to the expense accounts indicated by the petty cash receipts, such as postage expense, supplies expense. In other words, the general ledger account Petty Cash is not involved in the replenishment. The petty cash custodian will cash the check and add the amount to the other cash.
