Daily cash reconciliation, straight from the field.

A field officer collecting cash from dozens of borrowers is, structurally, a point of exposure — to honest error and to fraud alike. Without a same-day reconciliation, a shortfall might not surface for days, by which time it is far harder to trace.

End-of-day reconciliation makes the check immediate: the cash in hand is counted and compared to what the system says was collected, every single day.

At day's end the agent enters the physical cash counted. The app shows expected (from the day's collection log), collected (the counted cash), and the variance between them. A clean match enables handoff to a supervisor or branch; a variance is flagged for review before handoff completes.

One important nuance: if some of the day's collections haven't finished syncing, the 'expected' figure can't yet be trusted. The app treats a pending-sync state as blocking a clean reconciliation read — you reconcile against a complete log, not a partial one.

This is a cash-custody control, not a report. It sits in the daily workflow as a gate before money changes hands, which is exactly where a control belongs. The specifics of the escalation policy are set by the institution: variances above a set threshold are flagged to a supervisor before handoff can complete.
