Cash Losses

A cash loss refers to money that is missing after it has been recorded; and it is usually the result of theft, fraud or negligence. Please refer to the Auditor-Controller Agency’s Manual of Accounting Policies and Procedures –Cash (Section 8) for information on preventing, reporting, and replacing cash losses.

Separate procedures apply for losses over $50 and depending on whether or not there is an indication that fraud or embezzlement is involved.
