What does cashout refer to?

• A. The process of counting cash at shift end
• B. Record of sales transactions and accountable documents during your shift
• C. A form used for flight manifests
• D. An audit of security camera footage

Answer: (B)

Cashout is about documenting and reconciling everything that happened during your shift. It refers to the record of sales transactions and the accountable documents you handled, such as receipts, voids, refunds, discounts, and cash-in/out items, so you can balance the drawer and provide a traceable history. This documentation is what allows management to verify that the cash and sales totals add up and to spot any discrepancies later. While counting cash at shift end is a part of cash handling, the term cashout emphasizes the complete record and reconciliation of the shift’s activity. The other options don’t fit because they relate to counting cash in isolation, or to unrelated tasks like flight manifests or security footage audits.
