Subject: Cash Reconciliations - Statements of Differences
The Undistributed Statement of Differences compares the monthly Statement
of Transactions (SF 224) to that of Treasury Financial Centers through
GOALS, and Treasury issues the monthly Checks Issued Detail Listing that
shows issued check differences. Similarly, the Deposit Statement of
Differences compares monthly Statement of Transactions with Treasury
through CA$HLINK. Bureaus should be reconciling cash transactions and
resolving differences at least monthly as a basic internal control measure.
Treasury informs us that it considers six or more differences per agency
location code (ALC) a significant problem. David Metler, Financial
Analysis Branch of Treasury has been designated to work with Interior's
Bureaus to help resolve differences. He can be reached at (202) 874-9865
