2-5. DD Form 1131, Continued
A cash overage or shortage may occur in a dining facility. In this case, ensure
Cash overages
that designated personnel reflect the amount of overage or the shortage on the DD
and shortages
Form 1544. Make sure that these personnel explain fully, on the back of DD
Form 1544, the circumstances that caused the overage or the shortage. Also
ensure that they explain fully, on the back of DD Form 3546-R, the same
circumstances.
Ensure that designated personnel record the serial number of the DD Form
Preparation and
1544 book at the bottom of DD Form 1131. Also ensure that they record the
submission
sheet numbers of all the sheets that are being submitted. Make sure that they
prepare sufficient copies to meet the needs of the FAO. The officer who deposits
the funds receives two copies. If the DD Form 1544 sheets are from two different
books, ensure that designated personnel prepare a separate set of DD Forms 1131
for the sheets from each book. Have them attach the applicable DD Form 1544
sheets to the last copy of DD Form 1131. Together with the cash, turn in the
applicable DD Form 1544 sheets and the last copy of DD Form 1131 to the FAO.
The Finance and accounting officer (FAO) verifies the accuracy of the
FAO
amounts that are listed on the last copy of the DD Form 1131. The following
verification
steps are performed during verification:
