I don’t know.
Accounting is a vital module of most businesses, and accounting is a core module of nearly every IT professional. One of the core modules of accounting is the cash register. The cash register is important because it is a central point of control over which money is available for payment and which money isn’t. If any cash is missing from a register it can take 30 minutes to reach the register manager and his staff to get the money back.
How do you use a cash register? It’s easier to think about the cash register as a tool to track your money in the future, or the cash register as a resource to track your money in the future.
The point in accounting is to track your cash on a register so you can have an accurate picture of the cash on hand at all times. It is also a great way to keep track of what you owe when you don’t have access to a computer and you have to make payments manually.
A simple way to track cash out of a cash register is to use a cash register with a few items. To be honest, I’m not sure how you would use a cash register to track your money in the future, as you will have to spend it on something else.
A lot of people are not going to agree with you about what a cash register is. But to go further, you will need to know that what a cash register is really is the way that a person spends money. If you know that you have a card that says, “We will pay cash” and you have a cash register that says “We won’t pay cash” then you will be able to track that cash out of a cash register.
The problem is that most people will look at you as if you’re an idiot for asking this question when you are not actually sure what a cash register is. Most of the people I know who have some sort of accounting degree (or who are pretty techy) have pretty much the exact same question I do.
One of the core modules of accounting is the ability to track how much money you have in a bank account. If you know how to do this, then we are in trouble. But the problem is that the majority of accounting courses out there teach people how to do this, not how to do it.
We at T3 do have a core module that answers that question. It is called “Maintaining a Financial Inventory.” It’s pretty simple, and involves a lot of practice and a bit of luck. It’s also the reason why every bank I’ve ever worked with is required to have this module in place. Because if they don’t, a million dollars is going to be lost.
In many accounting courses, this module is not taught, or at least not in the required amount of time. And when it is not taught there is a very good chance your student has never even looked at the module and never will.
