Planning

  • Endeavour to sell any tickets prior to an event to reduce the need for cash collection on the day of an event.
  • Make pricing of tickets or goods for sale sensible (for example, 50 cent, €1, €10, €100 etc) in order to minimise cash handling. All tickets for sale are pre-numbered and sales and takings reconciled.
  • Nominate one individual with overall responsibility for overseeing cash handling.
  • Consider ways in which cash can be held securely, for example, through the use of money belts.

At the Event

  • Issue round quantities of tickets or programmes with sellers signing for the quantity received.
  • Unsold tickets or programmes are returned and reconciled with the record of cash received from each seller.
  • Discrepancies should be investigated without delay.
  • To avoid sellers accumulating significant amounts of cash, pre-designated collectors should collect cash. Alternatively, secure cash-receiving locations should be available to sellers.
  • Collections are recorded on a summary with a signature from the sellers signifying the amount of cash collected. In certain circumstances it may not be practical for cash to be counted at interim stages during the course of an event, however, a record that a collection has been made should be evidenced by signatures from both collectors and sellers.
  • All final amounts including floats are collected and recorded from all locations at the end of an event.
