It is therefore important that all those who handle cash are aware of this policy as it sets out good business practices for handling cash receipts. Cash receipts include coin, currency, cheques, money orders, bank drafts, electronic fund transfers as well as in the future payments by debit card and credit card. 2.0 THE POLICY 2.1 The establishment of strong internal controls for cash collection is necessary to prevent mishandling of funds and to safeguard against loss. Strong internal controls are also designed to protect employees from inappropriate charges of mishandling funds by defining responsibilities in the cash handling process. 2.2 The policy requires each office receiving cash to be a cash collection point, that is to say an office which handles cash on a regular basis. Required policies for cash collection points include the following: Accounting for cash as it is received. Segregation of duties that includes cash collecting, depositing and reconciling. Pre-numbered receipts given for any cash received. Safeguards for handling and storing cash. Promptly depositing cash directly at the bank. Reconciliation of deposit documentation to the bank statement. 2.3 The use of any other bank account by Clapham Manor Primary School & Children s Centre staff for depositing cash is prohibited. Periodic reviews of cash handling procedures will be conducted by internal audit and external audit. Anyone not complying with approved procedures may be subject to disciplinary action. 3.0 SCOPE 3.1 Any employee with responsibilities for managing cash receipts and those employees who are entrusted with the receipt, deposit and reconciliation of cash for school related activities. 4.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1 This section states the roles and responsibilities of Clapham Manor Primary School & Children s Centre employees in the handling of cash.

Over/short amounts must be separately recorded, and investigated and resolved. 5.4 Preparation of Deposits The deposit must be prepared by the School Administration. The deposit should be hand delivered directly to the bank at least weekly. All funds received must be deposited intact.

Petty cash may be applied for or increased by completing a petty cash voucher request, stating reasons for the request, and the amount requested. The petty cash fund must at all times contain the authorised amount in cash and/or paid vouchers. The funds may not be used for personal loans, cashing cheques, or for salaries. To replenish the petty cash fund, the petty cash book must be completed and reconciled. This outlines the persons reimbursed, the amounts and the account numbers to be charged. Funds received from any source must not be added to the petty cash fund, but must be processed per the procedures for a cash collection points. The petty cash fund must be kept in a safe or locked cabinet under the control of the responsible person. Only the responsible person may have access to the petty cash fund. The headteacher is responsible for establishing a maximum size for petty cash payments from the petty cash fund and this must be adhered to by all employees. 5.9 Exceptions The headteacher must approve exceptions to these procedures. For example, in cases where there is not enough staff available to maintain complete segregation of duties, an alternate process to safeguard Clapham Manor Primary School & Children Centre funds must be established and approved by the governing body.
