Petty Cash

The De Anza College Cashier's Office is the sole petty cash custodian for all departments and programs on campus. This established fund is set up for the purchase of low-value supplies (less than $100).

Expenses paid from the petty cash fund can only be used for the purpose(s) for which the fund was authorized and must be supported by original receipts, which should include the following information:

• Date of purchase or payment
• Name of vendor or other payee
• Positive evidence that payment was made (i.e., a cash register receipt or a handwritten receipt on which the word "Paid" appears)
• Amount paid
• Description of the goods purchased (entered by the vendor if a handwritten receipt is obtained, or by the purchaser if a cash register tape is issued)
