Request Float Set-up

Petty Cash Overview

1. Complete and submit Petty Cash Request form

Where it is agreed that a petty cash float is required you should complete an Application for Petty Cash Float Form (33kb).

Before sending the form to Cashiers it must be appropriately authorised by your Departmental Administrator. If there are issues with the amount of float requested, the Cashiers will contact your Departmental Administrator to discuss.

The minimum float issued is £50.

2. Receive Float

A secure carrier will deliver floats to your department. You will be asked to sign for the bag(s), and will be issued with a copy receipt. This must be retained for future reference.

Note: Petty Cash floats must be stored in a locked box and kept in a locked drawer or cabinet except floats over £500 which must be kept in a safe.
