FormsPal lets you fill in, save, and print this Army cashier accountability document directly in your browser. No software installation is needed. Follow the four steps below to complete the form accurately and submit a proper record of your shift.
Step 1: Open the Form and Enter Identifying Information
Click the “Fill Out” button on this page to open the interactive PDF editor. At the top of the form, enter the name and location of the NAFI facility, the date of the shift, and the shift period (for example, morning or evening). Then enter the cashier’s full name, rank, and employee ID number. This header information ties the record to a specific cashier and operational period for audit and accountability purposes.
Step 2: Document the Change Fund
Record the change fund amount issued to you at the start of the shift. The change fund is the cash provided by the NAFI supervisor to make change for customers throughout the shift. You must account for this exact amount at shift end. Enter the fund amount and sign the cashier accountability section to acknowledge your responsibility for the funds.
Step 3: Track Transactions During the Shift
Use the register accountability section to record beginning and ending form numbers for all receipts and vouchers processed. Log each transaction category as it occurs. Maintain accurate running totals for cash, checks, and credit card transactions. If a transaction is voided or refunded, document it in the appropriate field so the final reconciliation is accurate.
Step 4: Complete the Cash Count and Submit
At the end of your shift, perform a physical count of all cash and checks in the drawer. Enter the totals in the cash count section. Compare the physical total to the expected balance (opening change fund plus recorded receipts minus refunds). Record any overage or shortage in the shift summary and provide a written explanation if the discrepancy exceeds your facility’s threshold. Sign the completed form and submit it to your NAFI supervisor along with all funds and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is required to complete this form?
Any cashier assigned to a NAFI facility must complete this record at the end of every shift. This includes cashiers at Army recreation centers, food service outlets, military retail stores, and other activities operating under Army Regulation 215-5. Both full-time and part-time NAFI employees who handle cash are subject to the requirement.
What should I do if my cash count does not match the expected total?
Record the discrepancy in the shift summary section and write a brief explanation in the remarks field. Your NAFI supervisor will review the variance. Small, infrequent discrepancies are common and generally handled through normal procedures. Repeated or unexplained shortages may trigger an audit of your shift records for the affected period.
