MANAGEMENT OF CASH
Cash management refers to planning, controlling and accounting for cash transactions and
cash balances. Efficient management of cash is essential to the survival and success of
every business organization. Managing cash requires planning wisely so that there will
not be excess cash held on hand at
any point in time; or there is no shortage of cash at any point in time to meet the
business’s needs.
Internal control for cash should include the following procedures:
The individuals who receive cash should not also disburse (pay) cash
The individuals who handle cash should not access accounting records
Cash receipts are immediately recorded and deposited and are not used directly to
make payments.
Disbursements are made by serially numbered checks, only upon proper
authorization by someone other than the person writing the check Bank
accounts are reconciled monthly.
The following are the most common elements of cash control and managements:
• bank account system
• petty cash fund
• voucher system
• change fund
• cash short and over.

Control of Cash through Bank Accounts
Bank accounts are one of the most important means of controlling cash that provide
several advantages such as:
Cash is physically protected by the bank,
A separate record of cash is maintained by the bank,
And customers may remit payments directly to the bank.
If a company uses a bank account, monthly statements are received from the
bank showing beginning and ending balances and transactions occurring during the
month including checks paid, deposits received, and service charges. These monthly
statements (reports) received from the bank are called bank statements. Bank
statements generally are accompanied by checks paid and charged to the accounts
during the month, debit and credited memos, which inform the company about
changes in the cash accounts. For a bank, the depositor’s cash balance is a liability,
the amount the bank owes to the firm. Therefore, a debit memo describes the
amount and nature of decrease is the company’s cash accounts.A credits memo
indicates an increase in the cash balance of the depositor that it has with the bank.

Reconciliation of Bank and Book Cash Balances
Monthly reconciling of the bank balance with the depositor’s cash
accounts balance is essential cash control procedure. To reconcile a bank
statement means to verify that the bank balance and the accounting
records of the depositor are consistent. The balance shown in a monthly
bank statement seldom equals the balance appearing in the depositor’s
accounting records. Certain transactions recorded by the depositor may
not have been recorded by the bank and vice versa.
The most common examples that cause disparity between the two
balances are:
Outstanding checks:
Checks issued and recorded by the company, but not yet
presented to the bank for payment.
Deposits in transit:
Cash receipts recorded by the depositor, but not reached the bank to
be included in the bank statement for the current month.

Service charges:
Banks often charge a fee for handling checking accounts. The amount
of this charge is deducted by the bank form bank balance and debit
memo is issued for the depositor.
Charges for depositing NSF- checks:
NSF stands for “Not Sufficient Funds.” When checks are deposited in an
account, the bank generally gives the depositor immediate credit. On
occasion, one of these checks may prove to be uncollectible because the
maker of the check does not have sufficient funds in his or her account. In
such a case, the bank will reduce the depositor’s account by the amount of
this uncollectible item and return the check to the depositor marked
“NSF”.
Notes collected by bank:
If the bank collects a note receivable on behalf of the depositor, it
credits the depositor’s account and issues a credit memorandum for the
depositor.
When the depositor prepares bank reconciliation, the balances shown in the
bank statement and in the accounting records both are adjusted for any
unrecorded transactions. Additional adjustments may be required to
correct any errors discovered in the bank statements or in the accounting
records.

Steps in Preparing Bank Reconciliation
Bank reconciliation is a schedule prepared by the depositor to bring the balance shown
in the bank statement and the balance shown in the depositor’s accounting into
agreement.
The steps to prepare bank reconciliation are:
The deposits listed on the bank statement are compared with the deposits shown in the
accounting records. Any deposits not yet recorded by the bank are
d ep o s it s
I nt r ans it and should be ad d ed to the balance shown in the bank statements.
The paid and received checks from the bank are compared with the check stubs.
Any checks issued but not yet paid by the bank are o ut s t and ing c hec k s and
should be d ed uc t ed from the balance reported in the bank statements.
Any c r ed it m em o r and um s issued by the bank that have not been recorded
bythe depositor, are ad d ed to the balance per depositor’s record.
Any d eb it m em o r and um s issued by the bank that have not been recorded by
depositor are d ed uc t ed from the balance per depositor’s record.
the
Any errors in the bank statement or depositor’s accounting records are adjusted.
The equality of adjusted balance of statement and adjusted balance of the
depositor’s record is compared.
Journal entries are prepared to record any items delayed by the depositor.

Petty Cash Fund
Petty cash fund, which is part of the total cash balance, is used to handle many types of
small payments suchas employee transportation costs, purchase of office supplies, purchase
of postage stamps, and delivery charges. Many businesses find it convenient to make
minor expenditures instead of writing checks. The petty cash amount various from Br. 50
or less to more than Br. 1,000, which will cover small expenditures for a period of two
or three weeks.
Establishment of Petty Cash
To establish a petty cash fund a check is issued to a bank. This check is cashed and the
money is kept on hand in a petty cash box. One employee is designated as custodian of
the fund. The issuance of the check for establishment is recoded by debiting petty cash
account and crediting cash.
Replenishment of Petty Cash
Duriing the periiod,, the custodiian makes smalll payments form the petty cash fund and
obtaiins a receiipt or prepares a petty cash voucher.. Thiis petty cash voucher expllaiins the
nature and amount of every expendiiture and is kept wiith the fund.. When the fund
runs low or at the end of the company’’s fiscall periiod,, a check is issued to reiimburse the
fund for the expendiitures made duriing the periiod.. The issuance of thiis check is recorded
by debiitiing the appropriiate expense accounts and crediitiing cash or vouchers payablle..

Voucher System
One method to control cash disbursements is a voucher system. A voucher is a special
form, which contains relevant data about a liability and its payment.
In a voucher system, a voucher is prepared for each expenditure and approved by the
designated officials. Each approved voucher represents liability and recorded in a
voucher register, which is similar to purchases journal. Those registered vouchers are
filed according to their payment date in an unpaid vouchers file. The vouchers and
supporting documents then are sent to the treasure or other official is the finance
department before issuing checks. When the checks are signed, the paid vouchers are
recorded in a check register which is similar to cash payments journal. Those paid
vouchers are filed in paid vouchers file according to their serial number for future
reference
Change Fund
Some businesses that receive cash directly from customers should maintain a fund of
currency and coins in order to make change (Amharic=>”zirzir”). This fund, which is
part of the total cash balance, is called change fund. A change fund is established by
issuing a check to the bank and transferring the cash to the custodian. The issuance
of a check to establish a change fund is recorded by debiting cash on hand and
crediting cash or voucher payable.

Once a change fund is established, there will be no change in its balance unless there is a
decision by management to increase or decrease the fund balance.
Cash Short and Over
In handling cash receipts from daily sales, a few errors i n ma ki n g ch a n g es will occur.
These
errors may cause a cash shortage or overage at the end of the day. The account cash
short and over is debited if there is shortage and credited if there is overage. At the end of the
period if the account had a debit balance, it appears in the Income statement as miscellaneous
expense; if it has a credit balance, it is shown as miscellaneous revenue.
example, assume that the total cash sales recorded during the day amounts to Br. 12,420.
However, the cash receipts in the cash register drawer (actual cash count) total Br. 12,
