1 Chapter 9 Internal Control and Cash Questions 1. Most liquid is cash. Least liquid is a building. 2. Ensure transactions and activities are authorized, maintain records, insure assets, bond employees, separate recordkeeping and custody, establish separation of duties, apply technological controls, and perform internal and external audits. 3. Separation of custody from recordkeeping encourages the custodian to avoid misplacing, misappropriating, or wasting the asset. This arrangement makes collusion necessary if an asset is to be stolen and the theft concealed in the records. 4. Internal control procedures become critical when the manager of a business can no longer control the business through personal supervision and direct participation in its affairs. 5. Responsibility for a sequence of related transactions should be divided so that the work of one department or individual acts as a check on that of another. 6. Depositing all receipts intact on the day of receipt creates an independent record of the amount of cash received and helps prevent an employee from having personal use of the money for a few days before depositing it. 7. If department managers were permitted to deal directly with the suppliers, the amount of merchandise purchased and the resulting liabilities would not be well controlled. Having department managers place orders through a purchasing department helps control the amounts purchased and the resulting liabilities. 8. A petty cash receipt is a document stating that a payment has been made from petty cash. The person who received payment signs the receipt. 9. $29,329, ($100,410,000 $784,205,000) 100 = 12.8 %. Solutions Manual for Chapter 9 741

2 QUICK STUDY Quick Study 9-1 a. The main objective of internal control is to safeguard the assets of the business. This objective is best accomplished by designing an operational system with managerial policies that protect the assets from waste, fraud and theft. The system should be designed in compliance with the seven broad principles of internal control. b. The separation of recordkeeping from the custody over assets is intended to reduce fraud. If this fundamental principle is followed, there has to be collusion between two or more employees for assets to be stolen and the theft to be concealed in the records. c. Your supervisor s lack of concern is suspicious. The supervisor had control over both the custody and recording of bus passes; this lack of separation of duties represents poor internal controls. You have identified 1,251 ( = 71; = 739; = 441) missing bus passes at $50 each for a total value of $62,550. You have an obligation to report this irregularity to both your work experience advisor at the college and your supervisor s superior since your supervisor is not willing to deal appropriately with the issue. Quick Study 9-2 a. The basic guidelines for safeguarding cash are: (1) to separate the duties of those who handle cash and those that keep cash records, (2) require that receipts be deposited intact daily, and (3) require that all disbursements are made by cheque. b. The organization may be small and the separation of duties may be difficult. However, wherever possible, tasks should be segregated. Also, periodic checks should be made by an independent party to ensure procedures are being followed. Members could deposit their collections directly (no withdrawal privileges) and report the details to the recordkeeper. Restrictions could be placed on the bank account such that withdrawals can be made only via a cheque requiring two signatures to ensure cheques are being written for authorized expenditures only. 742 Fundamental Accounting Principles, Eleventh Canadian Edition

6 EXERCISES Exercise 9-1 (10 minutes) Lombard Company s internal control system failed to require a separation of asset custody and recordkeeping. The bookkeeper should not have been allowed to sign the company s cheques. In addition, since a loss was incurred, the company apparently had not bonded its employee. Otherwise, the loss would have been insured by the bonding company. Finally, if regular, independent reviews of the accounting records had been done, the payments of salary cheques to a nonemployee may have been discovered sooner. Exercise 9-2 (15 minutes) You have several concerns. First, there is no mechanism in the parking meters to track the input of coins (a meter reading that could be documented and subsequently verified against the collection); this means there is no verifiable means by which to reconcile the contents of each meter. Second, because of the first shortcoming, the employee emptying the contents of the meters could withhold some of the coins since the dollar value cannot be verified. Third, the canvas bag is not secure; it can be opened at any time by an unauthorized individual. Fourth, after emptying several parking meters, the contents of each canvas bag can easily exceed a thousand dollars; there is a safety risk to a lone employee carrying a canvas bag of money. To correct the situation, optimally, the parking meters should be mechanized such that the contents can be reconciled. However, a major investment in new parking meters seems unlikely, therefore, civic employees collecting coins from parking meters should operate in pairs; there is less risk of fraud if two employees are responsible for emptying the parking meters (unless there is collusion). The canvas bag used to collect the coins is also problematic. It should be redesigned so that coins can go in but cannot be removed unless done so by an authorized individual. Finally, for safety of the individuals involved and for security over the coins, full moneybags should not be stored in an unattended vehicle. Full moneybags should be transferred to a secure location immediately; arrangements could be made with an armored vehicle to rendezvous with the pair of employees regularly at specified points along the route. 746 Fundamental Accounting Principles, Eleventh Canadian Edition

7 Exercise 9-3 (15 minutes) a. If a cash register cannot be used, the total sales value of the shirts and sunglasses given to the employee each day should be calculated. Then, the employee should sign a receipt for the merchandise and the amount of cash that he or she has been given. At the end of each day, the employee should be required to return cash plus remaining shirts and sunglasses equal to the amount taken to the stand. b. The employee should sign a receipt for the total amount of cash he or she is given each weekend. Then, each time the employee makes a purchase, he or she should obtain a signed sales receipt for the payment. The sales receipt should list the items purchased and the prices paid. When the employee returns to the business office, the total value of the signed sales receipts plus any remaining cash should equal the amount of cash originally given to the employee. Also, the merchandise brought back by the employee should be the same as the items listed on the signed sales receipts. Exercise 9-4 (15 minutes) The internal control problem is that the bookkeeper has physical control over the cash receipts and also has control over the accounting records. Nothing in the system prevents the bookkeeper from taking cash from the mail and using it personally. The bookkeeper might delay recording the cash receipt from a customer until more cash comes in at a later date from a second customer. Then, the new cash receipt would be deposited and recorded as a payment made by the first customer. No entry would be made in the second customer s account until cash was received from a third customer. (This type of fraud is called lapping. ) Also, the bookkeeper may pocket cash and claim that a payment was never received and apparently lost in the mail. If only one person is present when the mail is opened, that person may steal cash and claim it was never received. If possible, two people should be present. Otherwise, the honesty and integrity of the person chosen to open the mail is critical. Most importantly, the bookkeeper should not have physical control over cash.

13 Exercise 9-9 (concluded) b. Cash sales would be preferable, however, often it is not convenient for customers. The inconvenience of cash might prevent customers from making purchases if that was the only means of payment accepted by LenCon. Credit sales allow customers to purchase on impulse. However, two disadvantages: receipt of cash by LenCon is delayed and credit sales require administrative time to monitor the timely collection from credit customers. Debit cards have the advantage of allowing customers to make impulse purchases but only if the cash balance is available in their bank account. Debit cards are also comparable to cash (no subsequent collection required) but the bank does charge a fee for this service although it is normally significantly less than the fee charged by banks for credit card transactions. Bank credit cards have the advantages of cash being collected by LenCon immediately (positive effect on cash flow) and customers are limited only to their credit card limit (not their bank account balance); customers are buying on credit but the risk of collection is transferred to the credit card company. The disadvantage of credit cards is the fee charged by the administering bank. LenCon will likely accept all forms of payment to enhance sales and in so doing recognize the costs and risks of each.

18 PROBLEMS Problem 9-1A (20 minutes) 1. Violates the principle of establishing responsibility. Only Jill should have access to the petty cash fund since she is the custodian. The company should implement a policy of not allowing petty cash transactions over the lunch hour. 2. Violates applying technological controls. While the daily backup is a very good internal control the tape needs to be taken off the premises every night. If the building and computer are destroyed the data will be able to be restored from the tape that was kept safe off the premises. The company should implement a policy of storing tapes off the premises nightly. 3. Violates regular and independent review. Jack Mawben needs to implement a way to regularly and independently review his employees. Hiring of internal auditors or an outside consultant to objectively review the internal controls and employee s work needs to be implemented. 4. Violates insuring of assets and bonding of key employees. We do not have enough information to know if the company can afford the move to the higher deductible on the property insurance. However, we can say that dropping the insurance for bonding the employees weakens internal control. If the company does need to engage in cost cutting they should do it without compromising their internal controls. The insurance for the bonding of key employees should be reinstated. 5. Violates separation of duties. The company should implement a policy whereby the person recording incoming cash receipts is not responsible for posting the payment to the customer accounts. 758 Fundamental Accounting Principles, Eleventh Canadian Edition

Part 2 If the April 30 replenishment is not made and no entry is recorded, several expenses would not be recognized and net income and owner s equity would be overstated by $ ($ $ $39.75). Similarly, the petty cash asset and total assets would be overstated by $ Even though the April 30 entry shows a debit to Office Supplies instead of Office Supplies Expense, the expense would turn out to be understated without this entry. This result occurs because the expense equals the difference between the unadjusted Office Supplies account balance and the count of office supplies on hand at the end of the year. If the unadjusted Office Supplies account is understated, then the amount of office supplies expense will be understated. Solutions Manual for Chapter 9 761

Part 3 a. If the company s Cash account balance of $26,193 is listed on the bank reconciliation as $26,139, the final balance that results from adjusting the bank statement balance will not be affected by the error. However, the final balance that results from adjusting the book balance of cash will be understated by $54 ($26,193 $26,139). b. The bank s collection of a $9,000 note less the $45 collection fee should have been added to the book balance of cash. Instead, it was added to the bank statement balance. As a result, the final balance that results from adjusting the bank statement balance will be overstated by $8,955 and the final balance that results from adjusting the book balance will be understated by $8,955. Therefore, the totals will be out by $17,910 because, if it is on the wrong side, it has a doubling effect. Solutions Manual for Chapter 9 765

27 Problem 9-7A (concluded) Part 3 There are several possible reasons why the cancelled cheques returned with a bank statement may not be numbered sequentially. Common reasons for this include the following: - Some of the cheques in the numbered sequence may have cleared the bank in a previous period and been returned with the bank statement in that previous period. - Some of the cheques in the numbered sequence may remain outstanding. If so, they will be returned with the bank statement in a later period when they clear the bank. - The issuer of the cheques may have voided one or more of the cheques in the numbered sequence, perhaps because of making an error in writing the cheques. - Occasionally, a cheque will reach the bank but the bank will incorrectly charge the cheque to the wrong account. When the bank detects the error, it will return the cheque separately with a note of explanation.
