FRAUD EXCEL DESCRIPTION

POS Cashier and Till Fraud Detection Model is an Excel template (XLSX) available for immediate download upon purchase.

Cashier-level fraud and till manipulation remain the largest source of undetected operational margin loss in retail stores, restaurants, and hospitality chains. Routine store visits and 10-receipt sampling fail to catch structured employee theft schemes designed to evade basic point-of-sale audits.

The POS Cashier and Till Fraud Detection Model provides internal auditors, loss prevention specialists, and forensic investigators with an automated, spreadsheet-based Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) engine. By ingesting raw POS Electronic Journal (EJ) transaction logs, it executes four deterministic forensic algorithms to immediately isolate theft, collusion, and unauthorized supervisor overrides.

Four Forensic Detection Engines:

1. Post-Settlement Cash Voids: Flags bills voided or cancelled after tender completion, where cash was pocketed while the customer departed with their receipt.

2. Pre-Tender Line Item Deletions: Isolates cashiers systematically keying items, taking cash from customers, and deleting items prior to bill finalize.

3. No-Sale Drawer Kicks: Surfaces excessive manual drawer openings during non-trading intervals, establishing till float manipulation.

4. Supervisor PIN Concurrency Anomalies: Flags instances where a single manager PIN was utilized across multiple tills concurrently or during unauthorized shifts.

Deliverables and Features:

•  Fully automated Excel workbook compatible with all major POS systems (NCR, Oracle Simphony, Micros, Revel, Toast, Lightspeed, Square).
•  Dynamic Cashier Risk Scorecard ranking store staff by fraud propensity score.
•  Prioritized CCTV Investigation Queue mapping suspect transactions directly to camera feeds.
•  Consolidated Loss Exposure Summary quantifying exact revenue leakage in USD and local currencies.
