Tax Tactics
31. Mind some petty pointers. Don't get careless about your petty cash account. "Though you don't need receipts for expenses under $75, you should still track these expenses since they can add up," advises Holmes Crouch, author of 18 tax books.

Explanation:
They're talking about the petty cash account, so when they say "petty pointers", they're referring to the account. It's not an adjective describing the pointers.
