Before submitting a trading period for approval, work through the following checklist to make sure everything has been completed and nothing has been missed. TakeSheet is flexible in the order modules are completed, but every item on this list should be done before the reconciliation is submitted.

Float Reconciliation

  • POS cash drawers counted and reconciled across all terminals

  • TAB float counted and reconciled

  • Keno float counted and reconciled

  • Any other floats distributed during the trading period counted and reconciled

Module Variance Review

  • POS variance reviewed and within acceptable threshold β€” commentary added where applicable

  • Gaming variance reviewed and any discrepancies investigated

  • TAB and Keno variance reviewed

  • CRT, AutoPay and ATM variances reviewed

  • Any outstanding variances documented with an explanation

Safe Holdings

  • All float repayments reflected in the Safe Holdings module

  • Final safe count completed and entered in the Close column

  • Safe Holdings variance reviewed and any discrepancies investigated

Management Report

  • Shift notes and commentary entered into the management report

  • Any significant events, variances or incidents documented

Submission

  • All modules completed and variances accounted for

  • Reconciliation submitted β€” status moved to Completed for Approval

Note: Safe Holdings should always be the last module completed at close β€” individual float reconciliations need to be finished first so that float repayments are correctly reflected in the safe balance before the final count is entered.
