  1. cash shortages of small amounts can be located and cash balance tallied…A huge cash shortage of Rs 80 lakhs indicates that the cash balancesxwere not being subject to periodical checking…resulting in the concerned cash dept official daring to embezzle such a huge amount….maybe over a period of time. Every where, esp in banks Surprise checks are mandatory…altleast to create a moral fear of being caught….for
    such employees lacking
    integrity.
