DA Form 1994. Petty Cash Voucher

The DA Form 1994, also known as the Petty Cash Voucher, is used to document and track petty cash transactions within the Department of Army. The form consists of several parts, including the voucher itself, a receipt section, and a summary section. The important fields to consider when filling out this form include the date, amount, purpose of the expenditure, and the signatures of both the recipient and the approving authority.

This form is used when there is a need for small cash transactions that cannot be easily made through other means such as checks or electronic transfers. It is commonly used for reimbursing employees for small expenses incurred on behalf of the Army, such as office supplies or travel expenses.

An example of an application for this form would be if an Army employee needs to purchase office supplies for their unit. They would fill out the DA Form 1994, indicating the date, amount spent, and purpose of the expenditure. They would then submit the form along with the receipts for the purchases to their supervisor for approval. Once approved, the employee would receive reimbursement for the amount spent.

A related form to the DA Form 1994 is the SF 1034, Public Voucher for Purchases and Services Other Than Personal. While both forms serve a similar purpose of documenting and tracking cash transactions, the SF 1034 is used for larger expenditures and is typically used by federal agencies other than the Department of Army.
