A petty cash ledger is a financial record used to track all small cash transactions associated with a specific resident, this usually refers to a resident’s personal petty cash account.


In Found, the petty cash ledger:

  • Allows you to Log all deposits and withdrawals made from a resident’s petty cash account.

  • Shows a running balance so you and your teams can see how much money a resident currently has available.

  • Helps ensure that every transaction is traceable, including who deposited or withdrew the funds, the amount, the date, and any associated notes.

  • Includes options for viewing deleted transactions, providing a transparent audit trail.

Example scenario:

A resident’s family member deposits £50 into the resident’s petty cash. Later, the resident uses £10 for a hairdressing service. Both transactions - deposit and withdrawal - are recorded in the ledger, and the resident’s balance is updated to £40. The ledger will reflect:

  • Deposit: £50 from family member

  • Withdrawal: £10 for hairdressing

  • Balance: £40
