Petty Cash

Petty Cash should only be used for purchases not available through other methods. It can be helpful to use for reimbursing small research project expenditures; keep in mind that petty cash can only be recorded as a general supply/service and therefore should not be used if your reporting requires more detailed account code descriptions. 

Petty Cash is only able to be collected/managed by an authorized Petty Cash Custodian, to request Petty Cash Custodianship, please contact Finance to determine if you are eligible to manage Petty Cash at pfinance@ualberta.ca.
