Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the use of an imprest account for sole proprietors, focusing on how cash is debited and expenses are handled. It explains that money drawn from or spent from the imprest account, such as for coffee expenses, reduces the cash-in-hand balance. The user intends to create a dedicated imprest ledger to track these debits and credits accurately.

the company spends money from its pockets and claims it or else takes the money from counter and spends on miscellaneous expenses. 

Eg. money drawn and spent on purchase of coffee

then, that amount will be subtracted from cash in hand. 

If you paid for the coffee and later on claim it from the company

that is also subtracted from the cash in hand balance. 

This is for impress account books. I will create a ledger called imprest accounts and debit and credit the amounts accordingly.

create imprest account on 1/1/2022

Imprest a/c 100

To bank a/c 100

Then drawn money for coffee or claimed money

By coffee expense/employee a/c

To Imprest a/c

 

 

 

 

*** I would prefer an imprest ledger over  books without debits and credits,
