OIG recommends the Board Chair of the Tbilisi Embassy Employee Association develop and implement cash management procedures in accordance with the internal controls prescribed for cash collection and handling by embassy cashiers in 4 Foreign Affairs Handbook (FAH)-3 H- 396.1 (g) and 4 FAH-3 H-390. Specifically, these procedures should include requirements to: a) Prepare daily deposit slips for cash and negotiable instruments. b) Deposit cash daily, or as often as needed, to avoid excess "cash on hand" as defined by local accounting and cash management procedures.
