The drawer is ৳50 short. Now what?
A fictional closing-time example. The goal is to trace a difference, not hide it inside tomorrow’s opening cash.
Count before comparing
A blind count asks for the cash in hand before showing the expected amount. The demo cash screen contains a ৳50 shortage.
Follow the money
Check collections, refunds, expenses and transfers. A bKash payment belongs in the bKash fund; it is not cash in the drawer.
- Recount the physical cash.
- Match each payment with its actual fund.
- Record the reason and an authorised correction before closing.
A visible difference is useful
The record helps identify what needs investigation. This example does not claim that software prevents every shortage.
