What this sheet is for

Cash up consistently and record the difference every day, which is how a problem gets noticed in a week rather than in an audit.

Who it is for

Shops, cafés, bars, market stalls, clubs with a bar, and anyone counting a till at the end of a day.

How to use it

  1. Count the float out and the float back separately.
  2. Record the till reading before you count, not after.
  3. Write the difference down even when it is nil.
  4. If it is not nil, write what you think happened while you still remember.
  5. Have it checked and signed by a second person where you can.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
