Policy 6010: Cash Handling

Getting Started

What do I need to know before getting started?

  • Departmental deposits are completed via Transact Campus. If you do not have access to Transact Campus, email treasury@boisestate.edu to request access.
  • If a department receives a check for a transaction that has been processed by Accounts Receivable, the check must be sent to AR for depositing and payment posting. DO NOT deposit the check via the departmental deposit process.
  • Deposit Requirements: Deposits totaling $200 or more must be submitted to the bank within a day of receipt & uploads must be completed by the following day. Deposits totaling $199 or less must be processed within a week.
  • Each department is responsible for reconciling cash deposits to ensure the appropriate Fund, Department and Cost Center is coded in Bronco Hub. Reconcile deposits recorded in Bronco Hub, via the Deposits – Campus Transaction Dashboard to the deposit transmittal receipts from department-depositupload@boisestate.edu. Reconciliation should happen at least monthly.
  • To order deposit slips, endorsement stamps or bank deposit bags, submit a Deposit Supply Order Form.
  • Refer to the Cash Handling Procedure Guide for more information about proper cash handling at Boise State.
  • All staff receiving cash must be trained on actions to take during an emergency. The University’s Office of Emergency Management maintains an emergency actions manual that must be reviewed by staff receiving cash on behalf of the University.
  • In the event of a robbery, the unit that has been robbed is required to contact University Security (426-1453), Treasury Services (426-2864) and Internal Audit (426-3131) as soon as it is safe to do so.
