Sales and receipts recorded by the POS system will be compared to actual cash and credit card deposits on a daily basis. Acceptable over/short amounts will be limited to $5.00 per day. Discrepancies greater than $5.00 will prompt management to conduct an immediate audit to account for the difference. Monthly totals will be compared to actual P&L statements for accuracy.
Cash, debit card and credit card receipts will be deposited in a deposit account that is kept separate from the general operating account. Transfers to the general operating account will be made as necessary. Separation of the two accounts is intended to aid in account reconciliation and cash flow management.
