For accountants, the important point is not just the amount advanced, but correctly identifying the nature of the transaction, the documentation, the journal entries, and the tax conditions when the employee directly makes the payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article provides a comprehensive guide to the entire process, from requesting an advance payment, disbursement, and documentation to accounting and closing the advance payment, while also clarifying the case where an employee uses personal funds to make payments on behalf of the

class=\"wp-caption-text\">What is an advance payment?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An advance payment is when a business provides its employees with a sum of money or supplies before they undertake a specific production, business, or work task. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approved by the board of directors. For a transaction to be considered a proper advance payment within a business, it must involve three core elements: the business entity providing the funds, the employee directly receiving the money, and an assigned task linked to a specific budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When an advance payment is made to an employee, accountants need to understand that this amount cannot be immediately recognized as an operating expense for that period. The advance payment is essentially a transfer of internal financial instruments from the company&#039;s cash fund or bank account to the direct management of an individual holding the card or cash. This value remains on the company&#039;s books as an asset, and only when the recipient completes the work and provides sufficient legal invoices and documents for accounting verification and settlement will the cash flow officially be converted into a legitimate business expense or capitalized into an asset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the current accounting regulations, specifically the latest provisions in Circular No. 99\/2025\/TT-BTC guiding the accounting regime for enterprises, effective from January 1, 2026, the specialized accounting account used to track and record this transaction is Account 141 \u2013 Advances. This account reflects all advances made by the enterprise to employees, as well as the settlement and finalization of those advances for each individual and each specific instance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the practical operation of a business, the most common situations that arise requiring advances include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advance payment for business trip expenses (Business trip allowance):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The funds are allocated to employees to cover airfare, hotel accommodations, taxi transportation, and meal allowances during the approved business trip.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advance payment for purchasing small quantities of supplies and tools:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Provide cash to administrative and purchasing staff to immediately purchase office supplies, emergency tools and equipment, or raw materials for factory production when suppliers do not offer credit terms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advance payment for event organization and diplomatic expenses:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Provide short-term funding for the Marketing and External Relations departments to organize seminars, entertain partners, and purchase diplomatic gifts as part of the organization&#039;s regular activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thanh_toan_tam_ung_la_gi\"><\/span><b>What is an advance payment?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advance payment is the process of reconciling the total amount of money an employee has received as an advance, the actual amount they have spent on work-related expenses, and supporting documents and invoices. This serves as the basis for financial settlement, accounting, and handling any discrepancies. This is a crucial internal control procedure for the finance department to ensure that the company&#039;s cash flow is spent for the right purposes, within budget limits, and to maintain financial security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Circular No. 99\/2025\/TT-BTC, upon completion of assigned tasks, the recipient of the advance payment is obligated to collect all valid original invoices and documents, prepare an advance payment settlement statement, and submit it to the accounting department for review. If the approved actual expenditure is lower than the advance payment, the employee is responsible for returning the excess amount to the company&#039;s fund.

Accounting law does not rigidly prohibit employees from receiving new advances before settling previous ones; this is entirely at the discretion of the enterprise in its internal control regulations. Circular 99 mandates enterprises to develop regulations regarding the subjects, value, purpose, form, duration, and authority for approving advances. The accountant will base their decision on whether to approve new advance payments on these regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buoc_3_Phe_duyet_de_nghi_tam_ung\"><\/span><b>Step 3: Approve the advance payment request.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A valid advance payment request will be circulated through the approval levels according to the internal management authority of the enterprise. Typically, the approval flow will go from the applicant to the direct department manager (to confirm the authenticity of the work need), then to the Chief Accountant (to check the reasonableness of the budget and review the debt history), and finally to the Board of Directors or an authorized person to sign and approve the disbursement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buoc_4_Lap_chung_tu_chi_va_giao_tien\"><\/span><b>Step 4: Prepare payment vouchers and disburse funds.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the Advance Payment Request form, which has been fully signed and approved by the competent authorities, the payment accountant prepares a Cash Disbursement Voucher (Form No. 02-TT) or a Payment Order if payment is made via bank account.
