Journalizing Petty Cash Transactions Financial Accounting
The cash over and short account is an account that keeps a record of any discrepancies between the expected cash on hand and the actual cash on hand. If a company has more cash on hand than what was expected, this is referred to as a “cash over” situation. If a company has less cash on hand than what was expected, this is referred to as a “cash short” situation. Assume the same situation except that I receive $94 instead of $96 for the sale.
Trump’s lawyers asked the state’s intermediate appeals court to reverse a prior ruling requiring that he post a bond covering the full amount to halt enforcement. New York Attorney General Letitia James has fought Trump’s request, urging the appeals court to require the full amount to ensure the state can easily access the money if the verdict is upheld. “Trump cannot sell his stock in the company for six months, making it difficult to translate Truth Social’s value into liquid cash that can be spent on the campaign,” Europa Group analysts said in a report.
Unit 9: Cash
This term pertains primarily to cash-intensive businesses in the retail and banking sectors, as well as those that need to handle petty cash. If a cashier or bank teller errs by giving too much or too little change, for example, then the business will have a “cash short” or “cash over” position at the end of the day. To illustrate, we will close the $100 original petty cash fund by returning the cash to the checking account with a debit to cash and a credit to petty cash. The cash short/over account is an expense account in the income statement of the business.
The question of where Mr. Trump can raise cash has become an urgent one because he is on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars of legal bills tied to the multiple cases against him. Whether Trump actually has nearly $500 million in cash, as he claimed, could become the subject of a future court battle over his assets. James, a Democrat, could start efforts to collect on the legal judgment she won against Trump as soon as Monday unless an appeals court intervenes. The merged company officially changed its name to Trump Media & Technology Group after the deal was completed on Monday, the statement said. Trump Media & Technology Group said in a statement Monday that the ticker symbol would be active on Tuesday following its merger with a so-called blank-check company, also known as a special purchase acquisition company (SPAC). SPACs are shell companies created to take a private business public without going through an initial public offering.

This account also provides companies with the ability to monitor the handling of cash, since it can apply to tellering operations too. As you think back on this system, note that there are several internal controls in place, most notably segregation of duties, assignment of responsibility, and a reconciliation (monitoring) process. In the next section, we’ll look at one of the most important cash controls, cash short and over the bank reconciliation process, in detail. If Mr. Trump cannot come up with the cash or a bond to cover the penalty while he appeals the ruling, the attorney general’s office could seize some of his properties. Trump Media & Technology Group is poised to debut on Wall Street at a market value of around $5 billion — based on the $37 share price of its merger partner, Digital World Acquisition Corp.
A controller conducts a monthly review of a petty cash box that should contain a standard cash balance of $200. He finds that the box contains $45 of cash and $135 of receipts, which totals only $180. This cash shortfall is recorded as a debit to the cash over and short account (which is an expense) and a credit to the petty cash or cash account (which is an asset reduction). Sometimes, the petty cash custodian makes errors in making change from the fund or doesn’t receive correct amounts back from users.
