How is Cash Reconciliation Prepared in this case of Cash Verification

-a- 

When a cashier gives advance to an employee, he gets “I owe you” form signed by the employee. The employee has to submit bills, or return back the money within a certain period. If he fails to do so, the amount is debited in his account by passing the entry as:

     Employee a/c     Dr

To    Cash a/c

Hence balance of cash a/c as per Tally may not match, with actual cash. Hence reconciliation is prepared in the following format:

 

Balance of cash a/c as per Tally           ____________________________

 Less: I owe you forms                          ____________________________

 Actual cash balance                             ____________________________

If actual cash balance does not match, then cash has not been handled properly.
