The short answer
Being able to attribute a transaction to a person is what turns a known discrepancy into a traceable one, and it is a records question before it is a trust question.
What the rules say
This page explains how a requirement generally works. It is not tax advice, and it cannot account for the specifics of any one business. For a position you intend to rely on, confirm with KRA directly or with a registered tax agent.
Tax rules in Kenya change with each Finance Act and with regulations made during the year. Before acting on any figure, deadline or threshold, check the current position on KRA's own website.
The question is attribution, not suspicion
Being able to tell which member of staff handled which transaction is not an accusation. It is the difference between knowing there is a discrepancy and knowing where to look. Businesses that cannot attribute transactions end up either ignoring losses or suspecting everyone, and both are corrosive.
What tends to work
Individual logins rather than a shared till code, and counting at shift boundaries rather than monthly. Neither is technically demanding. Both are usually resisted, and the resistance is itself information.
