Petty Cash Float Reconciliation Check

Check the petty cash float against vouchers and cash on hand. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The float amount, vouchers since the last top-up, and cash on hand.

How it works

1. Record the float amount.
2. Sum vouchers and add cash on hand.
3. Compare the accounted total to the float.
4. Return the check without ledger changes.

The output

float | vouchers_total | cash_on_hand | accounted | short_over

Worked fictional example

Fictional petty cash float is 200.00; vouchers total 147.50 and cash on hand is 51.50: accounted 199.00, short by 1.00 against the float.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
