Task 1What a voucher must show3 questions

A voucher is the record of one payment from the tin. It is filled in before any cash is handed over.

  • A number, in sequence
  • The date
  • What was bought
  • The amount
  • The signature of the person claiming the money
  • The signature of the person who authorises the claim

The receipt from the shop is attached to the voucher. If there is no receipt, a manager decides whether the claim can be paid.
