Cash Control & Discrepancies
What is a balance discrepancy in Bizwazi?
Understand what Bizwazi means when Cash, M-PESA or Bank does not match the expected balance.
A balance discrepancy means the amount Bizwazi expects does not match the amount you entered, counted, or checked.
Simple explanation
- Bizwazi uses your opening balance, sales, expenses, transfers, invoice payments and bill payments to estimate what should be in Cash, M-PESA or Bank.
- If the real amount is different, Bizwazi can show a difference.
- That difference may mean a missing sale, wrong account, forgotten expense, transfer mistake, counting mistake, or missing cash.
Why it matters
- Small differences can show ordinary mistakes.
- Repeated differences can show weak record keeping.
- Large or repeated shortages may suggest missing money, unrecorded spending, or staff handling problems.
