How to issue money correctly
The procedure for issuing accountable amounts to employees consists of the following stages:
- The employee draws up an application from the accountable person for the issuance of money, which indicates the intended purpose of the funds, the amount and justification for the need for their use.
- The manager studies the employee’s written request, makes a decision and endorses the application.
- The appeal with the resolution is transferred to the cash desk of the institution, where the cashier creates an expenditure cash order and issues the money for reporting.
The employee is required to sign the cash receipt, count and check the cash issued.
If you don't make a statement
Since the Central Bank of the Russian Federation has lifted the ban on issuing money to employees who have not reported on previous advances, in practice a situation may arise when a fairly large amount hangs on one employee. In order to avoid this, the enterprise, as a rule, draws up a document that regulates the list of “accountables” and the maximum amount of debt on advance reports at which the employee can take the money again.
During an audit, the tax inspectorate may, of course, draw attention to the fact that funds were given to some employee too freely, especially if this happens regularly.
However, the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate will be much more interested in issuing cash without drawing up a reporting application. This is already a direct violation of the Directive of the Central Bank and entails punishment under Article 15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Violation of the procedure for working with cash and the procedure for conducting cash transactions, as well as violation of the requirements for the use of special bank accounts.” Significant fines are imposed:
- the official will have to pay from 4 to 5 thousand rubles;
- The organization can be fined 40-50 thousand rubles.
How to correctly formulate an employee
The appeal is drawn up in a single copy addressed to the head of the organization or to another responsible person with the appropriate authority. There is no unified form. A correct application on behalf of an employee contains information:
- Information about the applicant: full name of the employee, position and structural unit.
- The required amount for expenses.
- Justification for receiving money.
- The period within which it is planned to make the necessary expenses, events, trips.
- Date and signature with transcript.
The application must be submitted both in written (by hand) and electronic form. If you have prepared an electronic request, print it out, sign it and submit it to the director for approval.
This is what a sample application for reporting from an employee looks like:
To the director of the Sports and Youth Sports School "gosuchetnik.ru" Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich from the deputy director on organizational work Klubina Inna Alexandrovna Statement I ask you to give me funds as an account for the organization and holding of the “School Anniversary” event, based on:

Service memo for the issuance of funds - samples:
The state took care of employees who go on business trips outside the Russian Federation, obliging management to compensate them for expenses for certain needs (Article 168 of the Labor Code).
Also, in some cases, funds may be required to purchase work equipment or provide services that require payment and are absolutely necessary to ensure a normal work process.
By writing a memo, you can achieve payment of the required amount of money. Relying on existing samples of such documents, it must indicate:
- Position held by the manager, full name of the organization, full name. addressee and date of writing the document.
- Next, in the center, you need to indicate that the note refers to an official type of document. And indicate its subtype, in this case - the issuance of money from the cash register.
- Then move on to the main part of the note – the text.
- The final stage is the affixing of the employee’s signature, surname and initials, as well as position. Enter the date in the line below.
This data must be written in the “header” in the upper right corner.
Write down your personal information, the amount of money you want to receive and clearly formulate the circumstances or reasons that serve as the basis for receiving it. Laconically list the goals for which the money will be spent. Then make a promise indicating the deadlines, no later than which a report will be provided to the employer regarding the amount spent.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!! The above points numbered 1, 2 and 4 serve as generally accepted details for all existing groups of service-type notes.
The sample memo for the receipt of funds is very closely intertwined with the note for the disbursement of funds and requires the indication of data according to the same template.
However, in order to ensure the correctness of drawing up a document aimed specifically at receiving a sum of money, it is necessary to contact the person who is authorized to manage the organization’s sums of money. In some cases, you will need to indicate the laws, citing which you express a desire to receive funds.

Almost any organization spends money on organizing various receptions for foreign representatives, on paying for cultural events for guests, on a translator, on some refreshments, as well as on a whole list of other needs.

- The exact coordinates of the workplace where the individual applying for the advance works.

The request is written not to the manager, but to the company. That is, in the upper right corner the name of the organization, full name and position of the manager are indicated. That's all. In the text, the manager does not request funds, but records the fact of their issuance. Then the purpose of the expenditure, the amount of cash and the reporting date are indicated.

How to draw up to get money on the card
When you receive money by bank transfer to a bank card, it is not necessary to fill out an application. But it is not prohibited (for example, an accountant requires such a request for internal reporting). The form and content of the official appeal will not change: it is addressed to the manager, indicating the purpose and amount of expenses.
Instead of the phrase “Please give me cash,” write “Please transfer money to a bank card” and indicate in detail its details - the name of the bank, its INN, KPP and BIC, current and correspondent accounts.
Transfer of funds to a corporate card
An alternative to a salary card is a corporate one. You can transfer funds to it for reporting to employees. The employee only needs to write a free-form application to use the card. The transfer of funds is carried out on the basis of the director’s order. It is advisable to approve the procedure for using cards:
- Plastic card holders do not have the right to disclose PIN code information to third parties.
- A report on the use of funds on the card must be provided no later than 3 days after the funds are written off or the employee returns from a business trip. It must be accompanied by receipts confirming payment for the transaction by card.
- If documents are missing or the director has not confirmed the intended use of the funds, they are withheld from the employee’s salary.
- A separate list of employees who have access to funds must be compiled.
- The issuance and return of cards must be reflected in the accounting log.
- In case of plastic theft, the holder must immediately report it to the bank.
The moment the card is handed over to the employee is not the date the money is issued on account. Entries in the accounting system are made at the time of withdrawal of funds. All transactions with a corporate card are displayed on a sub-account opened to account 55.
Example
On July 10, 2015, the LLC marketer was issued a card to pay for advertising. On July 15, the employee withdrew 2,000 rubles from the account. A bank statement confirms the debit. The accountant reflects the issuance of money by posting: DT71 KT55.
