Homework Answers

Answer #1

nature of imprest fund is to focus on documentation for every cash spen and only that which is recorded as spent is replenished. Any shortfalls needs to be replenished by a bookkeeper, from their own personal resources.

payroll bank account is a seperate account for payroll rather than all the business expenses.

there could be breakdown in control with regard to use of imprest system.there could be case that differences could not be quantified and accuracy of balances of imprest system cannot be explained even after reconciliation.

yes we need to make immediate adjustments by

1. reconciling all imprest

2.quatify and resolve all reconciling items

3.now processing the resulting adjustments.

4. also proper training should be given
