Keep a collected cash deposit in transit until bank receipt is evidenced

Separate till removal, courier custody and confirmed deposit.

Records and local rule

Original deposit bag D800 holds HKD 800. Till custodian records removal and an accepted courier handover. Bank receipt is still absent. The local register moves custody to courier/in-transit; it cannot show the same cash in the till or as a confirmed bank deposit.

Process the recorded case

  1. Match bag and counted amount
  2. Record accepted custody transfer
  3. Track in-transit deposit reference
  4. Change to deposited only on matching receipt

A deposit slip prepared before handover is not evidence that the bank received the cash.

Check the outcome

Where does the 800 belong in the current administration record?

Show the worked answer

Courier/in-transit custody only. It has left the till but no confirmed bank receipt exists, so it cannot be counted in either of those two available balances.
