Cash may be king but it’s also a never ending headache for school district administrators. Ticket sales for a multitude of events occur across nearly all campuses and the reconciliation process can be tedious, especially if ticket stock is randomly pulled from a cabinet. The answer is to ensure the control of pre-numbered ticket stock follows a well-organized process. The first and last numbers of tickets need to be recorded each time tickets are distributed. After each event two individuals should be involved in counting cash and preparing a Reconciliation Form. On the Reconciliation Form the individuals will (1.) Record cash collected; (2.) Record beginning and ending ticket numbers, and pre-numbered tickets that were spoiled; (3.) Record the calculated dollar sales based on ticket sales; (4.) Record the variances between the actual and calculated dollar sales; and (5.) Both individuals sign the Reconciliation Form. In the business office the reconciliation form should be matched up with the amounts recorded on the deposit slip copies. Administration should consider an electronic payment system. This is recommended for nearly all transactions, such as the campus cafeterias and not just special event ticket sales. This will help minimize risks connected to cash receipts to the lowest levels possible across all campuses.
