TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: James W. Hamilton, CPA, Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUBJECT: Submittal of the Annual Cash Shortages and Overages Report and the Departmental Bank
Accounts and Cash Funds Listings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. All Districts.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the Board receive, review, and file the FY 2021-22 Cash Shortages and Overages Report and the
Department Bank Accounts and Cash Fund Listings.
DISCUSSION
The Board of Supervisors, Resolution Number 84-40 dated January 24, 1984, directs the County Auditor-Controller
to perform certain functions of the Board pertaining to the approval of cash shortages, reporting of cash shortages
and overages; and the establishment and discontinuance of cash funds including cash difference funds and
revolving funds. The resolution also directs the County Auditor-Controller to make an annual report to the Board
concerning the above matters.
This report is rendered in accordance with the provisions of Government Code Section 29370.1 and Board of
Supervisors' Resolution Number 84-40. The shortages listed have been reviewed and approved by the County
Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector’s (ACTTC) Office.
Approval of cumulative cash shortage replenishments during the 2021-22 fiscal year were as follows:
Department Shortages
Agricultural Commissioner $ 5.80
Animal Services 106.28
Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector 1,673.84
Golf 497.46
Library 35.00
Public Health 16.00
Regional Parks 310.94
Total Shortages $ 2,645.32
Page 2 of 4
Cash shortages primarily result from routine cash handling errors. Tax-Collector shortages are primarily from mail-
in payments and department policy allows for the acceptance of shortages of up to $10 in order to avoid processing
delays.
Routine cash overages during the 2021-22 fiscal year were as follows:
Department Overages
Agricultural Commissioner $ 0.02
Airports 3,135.96
Animal Services 171.65
Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector 1,140.42
Clerk-Recorder 2,166.23
District Attorney 9.09
Golf 45.48
Library 1.47
Probation 990.20
Public Health 15.00
Regional Parks 223.11
Total Overages $ 7,898.63
All cash overages were determined to be routine in nature. Cash overages to the Clerk-Recorder and the Tax-
Collector are primarily from mail-in payments. Probation reported overages of $990.20 which is primarily due to
overpayments of less than $10 on court-ordered debts. In these instances, department policy allows for acceptance
of overages of up to $10 per transaction in order to avoid processing delays. In addition, Airports reported overages
of $3,135.96 for FY 2021-22. This is primarily due to the inability of parking kiosks to give change.
In addition to the cash overages and shortages, we are submitting complete listings of approved Departmental
Bank Accounts and Cash Funds as of June 30, 2022, as required by Resolution Number 84-40.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT/IMPACT
All County departments with imprest funds and/or bank accounts participate in the review of funds and the
compilation of our report.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
FY 2021-22 total cash shortages amounted to $2,645.32. The shortages were replenished from department
budgets. Routine cash overages amounted to $7,898.63.
RESULTS
ACTTC unannounced cash counts, policies on cash shortages and overages, and annual reports help minimize cash
handling errors, enhance accountability, and contribute to the County’s vision of a well-governed community.
