Petty Cash Log

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 11 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

Petty cash goes missing in small amounts that are hard to trace later. This Excel petty cash log records every top-up and every payment with a date, description and reference, and carries a running balance down each row.

The reconciliation section compares the balance per the log with the cash you have counted in the tin, so any difference shows up straight away.

Every row carries the balance forward. If the bottom figure does not match the tin, the difference is in the rows above.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
