Accouting treatment for expenses

Hi All,

In my company, the person handling Petty Cash misplaced few bills which he paid on April. I disallowed the expenses and he balanced the cash using his personal funds. Now he that he realized the bills, he is asking for payment. Ofcourse, he can be paid once it is accounted. But, the bills are in the date(s) of April, How can I account it in September?

Do any one advise me on this please.

Regards
