Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the country director ensure that the cashier cage is modified to comply with the requirements of the PCM section 760.

We recommend that the cashier remove the cashier cage key from the common key storage box and maintain it in her possession.

We recommend that the country director, in consultation with Global Accounts Payable, develop an arrangement for storing the duplicate keys to the cash boxes, combination to the safe, and the extra set of keys to the cashier cage that will prevent access by a single person
to the imprest fund (except for the cashier).

We recommend that the country director ensure that all cash, including EAP funds, is safeguarded as required by the Overseas Financial Management Handbook, including procuring safes with three-tumbler combination locks where they are absent.

We recommend that the administrative officer advise the principal cashier, alternate cashier, and sub-cashiers on the proper handling of cash collections.
