There was a siqnificant improvement in both food &ad totaco

restaurant quest checks, restaurant cash receipts, and the use
of the petty cash fund. However, improvement is still needed in

surprise cash count program. The restaurant administrative
officer should analyze the cash flow at each cashier station and
have the chanqc fund transferred tc the House Finance Gffice,
The accounting office should reinstitute the monthly cash
