Surprise cash counts

If you run a small business like a convenience store, restaurant etc. you should consider doing a surprise cash count periodically.

This cash count is not the same as what you do at the end of each day to make sure that your cashiers have balanced their collections to your cash register tape, but it is a step to ensure that your cashier is not borrowing from the cash register and then replacing the founds at the end of the day.

Yes I know the funds are being replaced, however, fraud is a culture that starts with a pebble but then turns into boulders used to demolition buildings.

So it is imperative that you put your staff on notice that you are watching them through the simple means of a surprise cash count.
