# Petty Cash Log Review

## Inputs
The petty cash log, receipt references approved for review and the float policy.

## Workflow
1. Record the approved float amount.
2. Match log entries to receipts.
3. Separate unreceipted entries from arithmetic differences.
4. Return the review note for the bookkeeper; do not adjust cash.

## Output contract
Entry | amount | receipt | difference | owner

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional tin: approved float 200.00; the log shows 8 entries totalling 154.50, so expected cash is 45.50; receipts are missing for 2 entries totalling 30.00. Report expected cash of 45.50 and 2 unreceipted entries.

## Review gates
Never adjust the cash or accuse anyone from a log review. The bookkeeper reconciles and owns the float.
