Cash shortage/overage

An income statement item that represents the difference between the actual cash amount and an accounting measure of how much cash there should be. The most common example exists in a retail situation where the cash in the cash register is compared to the register tape. Any difference is entered in the cash overage/shortage account, and that account appears on the income statement.
