# Dealing with theft

Best practice is to insist on a police report whenever money or other assets are lost or stolen. A police report will:

- Enable your organisation to make a claim on an insurance policy, if there is one.
- Help to discourage future theft.

In the accounts, you should

- Enter the lost amount on the 'payments' side of the accounts.
- Write an explanation of the loss to accompany the accounts.
