Which option describes Treasury-related actions for excessive loose money in an AFC machine?

• A. BPS should be contacted
• B. Treasury or Compsec for a Treasury troubleshooter
• C. Inform Line Operators
• D. Record in T/O log

Answer: (B)

Excess loose money in an AFC machine is a cash-handling anomaly that requires specialized security and accounting procedures. The correct move is to escalate to Treasury or Compsec for a Treasury troubleshooter. This ensures the issue is handled by the team responsible for cash control, who can securely count and reconcile the cash, determine the cause of the excess, preserve the proper chain of custody, and document the incident. It prevents unauthorized access and ensures an auditable trail for financial controls.

While informing line operators or recording the event in a log might be appropriate as supporting steps, they don’t directly address securing and reconciling the cash or initiating the formal investigation.
