    In a practise where I work if it's such a small amount then we always write it off (usually up to £20 depending on size of the business) as it will cost more money for our client for us to go over and search for such small amount..

    I usually do;

    Dr £1.27 your chosen expense i.e. travelling expenses
    Cr Petty cash £1.27
    Kind Regards,

    one quick question - then their PC amount i should provide would be £288 + £1.27( after we write it off )
    Is that right ? so their imprest amount will be back to £300 again ( £289.85+11.42 )
