käteispuskurin

Käteispuskuri, often translated as cash buffer or petty cash, refers to a small amount of physical currency kept on hand for immediate, small-scale expenses. This fund is typically managed by an individual or a specific department within an organization. The purpose of a käteispuskuri is to avoid the need for formal purchase orders or reimbursement processes for minor transactions, thereby saving time and administrative effort.

Common uses for a käteispuskuri include purchasing office supplies, paying for postage, covering small travel expenses like parking meters, or reimbursing employees for minor out-of-pocket expenditures. The amount allocated to a käteispuskuri is usually limited to prevent potential misuse or significant financial loss. Regular reconciliation of the fund is essential to track expenditures and ensure accountability. This involves comparing the cash on hand with receipts and expenditure records.

The management of a käteispuskuri often follows a set procedure. When cash is spent, a receipt or voucher is typically required, detailing the amount, purpose, and date of the transaction. Periodically, the fund is replenished by submitting a request for reimbursement or a check for the total amount of documented expenses. This system allows for quick access to funds for everyday necessities without disrupting standard financial workflows.
