View Full Version : What would you do?
So, me and my boss (Director of Finance) find a seemingly old petty cash tin locked in one of our filing cabinets. It has nothing indicating what it is, and it's not recorded anywhere at all. Seems it was for something but my old boss failed to mention when he left last year so basically it's dead money sitting in a drawer. Our theory is it's from the old vending machine we replaced with one that now uses key tags.
Total sum of £54.00.
What do you do?
free lunch for the office?
split it down the "i found it first" middle =)
1. Let your boss spend it.
2. Report your boss for theft.
3. Become FD.

Put it back where you found it for a few months, then buy beer/wine for the team on Christmas eve.

Haha, I don't think my job was worth that.

That made me giggle lots, but I don't think it's the best idea.

TEAM? Me and my boss are the accounts team ;) we're hungry...
Straight to the boozer.

If your the only ones, then I say go have a nice lunch somewhere. Worst case, if someone comes up saying "Where is that £51 I had saved for so and so", then just say you were not sure who it was for so it had been banked pending someone asking. Then you and your boss just cough up £25.50 each. Hardly a big amount to worry about.

split it and spend on beer over weekend.
:drink:"Money? No we haven't found any money" hic:drink:
Our normal petty cash tin is up £130 anyway from numerous people buying old stock which would have only been shredded for cash that my boss doesn't bother recording. Worst case scenario it come's out of there ;)
Perhaps that's our christmas bonus in the other tin.
This makes my boss sound to be a right dirty accountant, but he's a good man... honest.
Anyway lads & ladies - a free lunch awaits xx

Put a receipt in the box, and move the cash into your petty cash system. If it then belongs to somebody they can come to you with the receipt and explain why the money was out the system.
If unclaimed after 3 months, ie christmas. Spend it on a team building exercise down the pub.

You could spend it on yourselves, or you could do something good (http://www.ted.com/talks/jacqueline_novogratz_invests_in_ending_poverty.htm l) with it.
A ploughmans, onion rings, garlic bread, scampi, ice cream & guiness.
Was it spent wisely enough?
so you have found some cash that is not recorded and you have just told everyone on an open forum. the tax man will be smashing your door down in just a moment.
GO HAVE LUNCH.
It was a working lunch and therefore was provided by the company :)

Exactly. If he had spent £54 on cake, everyone would have had some, therefore, nobody would complain at where the money had gone:p
