The point of having a standard way of keeping track of cash is accountability.

Levels

1. An auditor (someone outside Free Geek looking over our books)
2. A bookkeeper (someone inside Free Geek who keep track of our bank accounts, expense accounts, etc.)
3. A bean counter (someone who checks the tills each morning, looking for inconsistencies, and prepping them for the bookkeeper. Also preps tills.)
4. A cash handler (someone who takes and dispenses money at a till)

Normal and oddball transactions

Normal transactions are ones that go into the database. Oddball transactions are anything else.

• At the front desk normal transactions are donations and fees that accompany gizmo donations.
• In the store normal transactions are sales.

Some obvious oddball transactions:

• Someone pays an invoice
• Someone buys something at the front desk
• Someone finds money
• Someone needs a reimbursement, or takes money to buy something for Free Geek.
• Mileage -- a kind of reimbursement.
