cash deficit/cash deficiency
Explanation:
Da noi questi ammanchi li chiamiamo cosi. Non sono daccordo con il termine "Cash embezzlement" perchè da la sensazione scontata di un ammanco illecito premeditato....mentre un ammanco può anche essere frutto di un errato e non intenzionale movimento del cassiere.
Dipende dal resto del testo....

cash shortage


Explanation:
Che manca. "The cash is short. Oh no, count it again!". The reasons are either an honest error, or theft and/or embezzlement, but that is neither here nor there.
