Banking

The information below is outdated,  however the process hasn't changed massively and the instructions below can be followed in order to guide througn the banking process. 

UPDATE 14.11.22

Ongoing process will be for LSA who is NOT on the open to cash up each morning to ensure accurate record of the previous day. There are Daily Banking instructions below to follow every day, then at the beginning of the week we'll complete the weekly banking instructions

Daily Banking

Each morning you need to check the X-Read. Normally the evening team print one when they finish, but if not, print on yourself. If the 'X-Read Grand' is £0 and the number of no sales is only 1 more than the day before, we don't need to count that day (make a note of this in the Log book). This is because this means the till was only opened once all day; when it was opened to remove the money and place it in the money cabinet. If there is more than 1 extra no sale, or any amount in the X-Read Grand we need to count the cash in the till, and remove any takings from the previous day. Detailed instructions for this are printed in the folder, but can also be found here.

There are printed cashing up slips in the folder, but if you want you can use this excel document, which will automatically total amounts for you. Just make sure not to overwrite any of the green boxes - these have functions in them.

Finally, there is a log in the front of the folder. Please place your initials, the date and any notes where applicable

 

Weekly Banking Instructions

Each week we need to consolidate the cash counted from the till each day, as well as check the kiosks and money loader for any takings. This is usually done at the beginning of the week and instructions for this process can be found here. This document also contains instructions for preparing cash to be collected by G4S for transportation to the bank.

To complete the weekly process you will need this Weekly Banking Reconciliation form. If you fill it out on sharepoint please remember to clear any data, after you've printed the completed form, so that next week can start afresh.

As with the daily banking, please complete the log in the front of the folder once you've done the weekly banking, so we have eyes on when this was done and by who.
