A method for detecting misplacement of one or more cash items within a multicompartment cash drawer, comprising: recording the cash in each compartment; after a transaction, detecting a discrepancy between cash expected to be in the cash drawer and cash measured in the cash drawer; in the event of discrepancy, comparing the cash measured in each compartment after the transaction with the cash recorded in each compartment before the transaction to deduce any cash movement in each compartment; producing or calling-up a table of cash movements expected for each compartment in relation to the transaction; and matching the cash movement of each compartment against the table.
