Go Digital and Wave Goodbye to Petty Cash
Aren’t we all tired of the headaches that come with managing petty cash? At times it’s about requesting a cash advance for company expenses. Other times we have to pay using personal credit cards, then compile receipts to file manual claims.
This old system has been rooted in every company, resigning unhappy employees to the old pay-and-claim method. Let us walk you through a typical situation in companies that handle multiple projects.
Manual Pay and Claims Processes Add to Administrative Burden
Natasha, Head of Projects, knows firsthand the challenges of petty cash management. From month to month she has to request funds for company expenses; at times paying with her personal credit card. Every month there is the manual process of retrieving documents for every expense, reconciling accounts and filing for approval. She has no better solution than to focus on these tasks. Taking up invaluable time that’s better spent on strategic decisions and project goals.
Accountability and Transparency Issues
The manual processes often lead to lost receipts, late submissions and discrepancies in financial reports, making it difficult to justify expenditures to her finance team. As such she has to regularly answer their queries on specific spend. Most days, her reimbursements are tied up in bottleneck approvals. Sometimes her personal claims are even rejected.
Cash Carrying: A Security Concern
As someone responsible for company funds, Natasha is wary of the security risks associated with carrying physical cash. Occasionally she has to tote large amounts of cash, instigating a threat to her physical safety. And if the cash were truly lost or stolen in a nightmarish scenario, it could disrupt ongoing projects and even undermine her financial integrity.
