10.2.5 Reconcile Cash Receipts Daily
Policy Statement
To ensure all funds are properly accounted for, units must reconcile received funds daily. Proper segregation of duties ensures that no one person has sole control over the entire cash handling process from receiving to reconciling. Someone other than the person receiving and depositing the money must perform the reconciliation.
Procedure
When preparing the daily Report of Cash Sales, Money Received, or online Department Deposit form report any significant shortage to University Bursar Cashier Operations. If the loss appears to be due to theft or fraud, notify university police and the Office of University Audits immediately.
The reconciler should compare the receipt from University Bursar Cashier Operations office to the Report of Cash Sales, Money Received, or Department Deposit form, and to the receipts or transaction records. Report discrepancies to University Bursar Cashier Operations.
