Be careful with the `petty cash' account. It has a specific meaning in
bookkeeping: it's a set amount you keep on hand for when someone needs to buy
copier paper, or pens, or whatnot, and doesn't want to bother with a check or
credit card. When it gets low, you top it off to the set amount and continue.
Get the receipts to check against the account.
For the above suggestion, I think what you need is a ``miscellaneous cash''
account, or a ``cash in second left-hand drawer'' whose only purpose it to go
into the bank.

Best wishes,
