Start the day with a known float
Count the cash in the drawer when you open. That amount is your float.
At closing, count by notes
Count each note separately (how many ₦1,000, ₦500 and so on) plus coins. Then compare with what the books expect: float + cash sales + cash payments received − cash expenses and payouts.
If you are over or short
Small differences happen. Look for:
- A sale recorded as cash that was paid by transfer (or the reverse).
- An expense paid from the drawer but not recorded.
- Wrong change given to a customer.
