Cash Register

•A machine used in shops that has a drawer for money and totals, displays, and records the amount of each sale.

Change Fund and Change fund reports • Change Fund: A specific amount of cash to make change

• Change Fund report: A report on the amount of cash that is kept by the departments, including profits and lost money.

• Why the cashier must know how much they begin the day with to know how much should be in the drawer:▫ To avoid holding too much cash on the sales floor.▫ If the store is robbed.▫ When a customer complains about too little change.▫ For discovering frequent overages/shortages for particular cashiers.▫ To remove temptation of taking cash without documentation from the

cash drawer.

Deposit Slips• A small written form that is used to deposit

funds into your account. ▫ Indicates the date, the name of the depositor,

the depositor's account number and the amounts of checks, cash, and coin being deposited.

• Ex: Cash registers can print a sales slip telling how much money the cashier made in sales and how much money they are responsible for. If the money counted does not match what is on the balancing slip, the cashier may be over or short.
