Divide Jobs/Gut Theft

Accuracy and honestly should be encouraged for employees who handle cash transactions.

A good way to discourage theft of cash is to divide the cash functions between two or more emPloYees. They may cooperate on Pilferage but the risk is less.

Eight places where functions can be split are (l) handling cash and annotating cash ledger; (2) collecting delinquent accounts and crediting the account; (3) authorizing petty cash payment; (4) accePting an order and sending the goods; (5) working the cash register and auditing the tapes; (6) making bank deposits and reviewing the slips; (7) approving payments by check and reviewing the checks; (8) having someone from outside the department or organization take all physical inventories.

Employees should be required to make good any shortages in cash at the end of the day, but it is best to forgive shortages of under $3. Offsetting shortages one daY with overages another day should be avoided as it may lead to cheating the customer to make uP a loss.
