DM Cash Audit Checklist

This DM Cash Audit checklist helps district and store managers assess cash handling controls across registers and the safe. Review expected cash in each drawer and the compusafe, confirm safe logs and dual verification, and ensure single custody. Validate cashier procedures such as ID checks for higher-value credit card transactions, counterfeit bill checks, regular cash drops, and coupon handling. Verify gift card sales, usage, and balance checks. Confirm management approvals for discounts and voids, and review documentation for over or short variances. Assess reconciliation steps, deposits to POS or back-office systems, and completeness of paperwork including cashier recon sheets and daily reports. Use this template to standardize audits, strengthen internal controls, and reduce cash loss.
