An asset account used to record amounts given to an employee with the expectation of repayment. For example, if an employee is given money by a company and the money is expected to be repaid or spent for company purposes, the amount will be recorded in this current asset account until it is repaid or until the expense documentation is provided.

"I am thankful I signed up for AccountingCoach. My background is in front-office customer service and minor bookkeeping. My husband and I opened a satellite office for a European company where I had to use all those skills and more. We have an ERP system and an accountant, but I needed to brush up on some of my bookkeeping and learn new skills to keep up with my accountant. I have recently started with AccountingCoach, and I can tell you that it is user friendly and easy to navigate. You can go in order or jump to a section as needed. Everything is clearly explained. The PRO platform is great because you have access to all the material whenever you need it, so if I have any future questions, I can go back and look at it. I would highly recommend this website to others." - Susan H.
