What is the purpose of the cashier security report?

• A. A report to determine why overrides are being made.
• B. A daily sales summary for end-of-day reconciliation.
• C. A log of employee clock-ins and breaks.
• D. A maintenance checklist for cash drawers.

Answer: (A)

Monitoring override activity is what the cashier security report is for. When a cashier manually changes a price, discount, or other transaction details, the system records who did it, when it happened, and the reason given. This creates an audit trail that management can review to verify that overrides are justified and properly approved, and to spot any patterns that might indicate mistakes or potential misuse. The goal is accountability and loss prevention, turning otherwise hidden actions into traceable data.

This isn’t about total daily sales, which would be used for end-of-day reconciliation, nor about employee clock-ins and breaks, which track time and scheduling, nor about hardware maintenance for cash drawers. Those functions serve different needs, while the cashier security report focuses on understanding and controlling override activity.
