From what I understand having followed some of the Horizon enquiry, the PO uses the Horizon system for all its transactions including banking. So if you buy stamps, that is done via Horizon; and if you deposit cash into your bank account at a PO that is also done via Horizon. The interaction with the banks' computers systems was one of the design challenges. It follows that the cash drawer contains money from different sources, and for different reasons. So a proper reconciliation at the end of each trading period is vital. This was one of the areas where the lack of an audit trail available to the SPM (and in some cases to PO investigators themselves) led to wrongful prosecutions. -- Graham J
