What is a Cashdrawer Skim?
Cashdrawer skims are performed to reduce the amount of cash kept in the cashdrawer at any one time. Usually this is done as a security precaution.
Cashdrawer skims allow for the amount of cash that has been removed to be pre-counted and recorded for later reconciliation of the days takings.
