Audit cash handling. Daily process for opening float, takings, counting, banking and recording: [CASH_PROCESS]. Staff involved: [STAFF]. Sample of daily records with expected and counted amounts: [DAILY_RECORDS].

Calculate over and short amounts per day and in total, check whether counts are done by two people, whether banking is timely and records are signed. Flag patterns by day or shift as questions only.

Return a table, summary arithmetic, and recommended controls: dual counts, safe access limits, daily deposits and weekly review by someone not handling cash. Avoid accusing individuals.

Add a worked calculation: takings 1,250, counted 1,235, short by 15; next day 980 and 992, over by 12. Over five days: short 15, over 12, short 8, over 0, short 4; net = minus 15 plus 12 minus 8 plus 0 minus 4 equals minus 15. Average absolute difference = (15 + 12 + 8 + 0 + 4) divided by 5 equals 7.8. A pattern appears on days when one person closes alone: ask why. Suggest dual counts and a log.

Invented five days. Differences (counted minus expected): minus 15, plus 12, minus 8, 0, minus 4.
Net = minus 15 + 12 minus 8 + 0 minus 4 = minus 15.
Average absolute difference = (15 + 12 + 8 + 0 + 4) / 5 = 39 / 5 = 7.8.
Pattern: the largest differences fall on days when one person closes alone; a question for the manager, not a conclusion.
Controls: two people count, safe access log, daily deposit, weekly review by someone who does not handle cash.
