What is 'Imprest'. An imprest is a cash account that a business uses to pay for small, routine expenses. A fixed balance is maintained in the account, and it is replenished routinely to maintain that balance. Alternatively, an imprest can refer to a monetary advance given to a person for a specific purpose.
An imprest system is used to run and manage a petty cash fund. Example. First, management has to estimate how many small purchases it will make and much money it will need for these purchases. Second, a check is written for this amount, and the cash is given to the cashier in charge of the petty cash fund.
