Abstract

According to one embodiment, an accounting apparatus includes: a case body that accommodates a change machine for dispensing a change and a stocking unit for stocking money to replenish the change machine; a door that is provided at the case body so as to be able to be opened and closed and closes an accommodation unit for accommodating the stocking unit; a first electromagnetic lock that is shifted between a locked state where the door is not able to be opened and an unlocked state where the door is able to be opened; and an opening and closing control section that maintains the first electromagnetic lock in the locked state in a normal mode in which accounting processing of driving the change machine such that the change machine dispenses a change with respect to a price of a sales target is executed, and enables the first electromagnetic lock to be shifted to the unlocked state in a specific mode based on an input of unlocking permission information for the electromagnetic lock.
