Accounting Final Year Topic: Completeness of Authorisation and Supporting Evidence in Petty Cash Records

This Accounting final year project examines whether permitted petty cash entries contain the documentation required by existing policy.

Why choose this project topic?

Completeness of Authorisation and Supporting Evidence in Petty Cash Records gives the proposal a specific research question to investigate. By examining whether permitted petty cash entries contain the documentation required by existing policy, the study can connect an accessible evidence base with an explicit comparison and a useful account of uncertainty.

Which expense categories most often lack a stated purpose or approved support?

Use anonymous expense categories and a bounded historical period.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define a feasible study scope for whether permitted petty cash entries contain the documentation required by existing policy.
  2. 02Audit redacted completed vouchers against the organisation's documented procedure.
  3. 03Compare completeness and follow-up records without assessing employee honesty.

A suggested research approach

Audit redacted completed vouchers against the organisation's documented procedure. Compare completeness and follow-up records without assessing employee honesty. Agree access, sampling and any required ethical or laboratory approval with your supervisor before collection. Keep original observations separate from assumptions and record missing or unusable evidence.

What you will need

  • Organisation permission
  • Redacted vouchers
  • Approved policy

Keep your project scope clear

Missing documents do not prove that an expense was improper or fabricated.
