8 SARBANES-OXLEY WHAT DOES IT REQUIRE? EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS Maintain strong, effective internal controls - deter fraud, prevent misleading financial statements Report on effectiveness of company s internal controls file with SEC

9 DESCRIBE AND ILLUSTRATE THE OBJECTIVES AND ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL

10 INTERNAL CONTROLS Policies and procedures a company uses to (sace): Safeguard assets Produce reliable accounting records and business info Encourage compliance with policies and laws Promote efficiency

11 INTERNAL CONTROLS Designed to give REASONABLE assurance that errors and irregularities will be prevented or detected on a timely basis

12 FIVE ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL Control environment Risk assessment Control procedures Monitoring Information and Communication

13 CONTROL ENVIRONMENT Overall attitude, awareness, actions of management towards controls Management s philosophy and operating style Organizational structure

14 RISK ASSESSMENT Identifying risks and taking actions to control them

15 CONTROL PROCEDURES Separation of duties for related operations why? Separation of duties for operations, custody of assets, accounting why? Sound personnel policies Proofs and security measures Authorization and approval Reconciliation Restricted access, physical security Physical counts

16 MONITORING Warning signs from employee behavior Warning signs from accounting system

17 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION

18 LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL Errors and irregularities MAY still occur! Human error, collusion, dishonesty, misunderstanding, errors in judgment, carelessness Cost-benefit

19 DESCRIBE AND ILLUSTRATE THE APPLICATION OF INTERNAL CONTROLS TO CASH

20 INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER CASH Why SO Important? Cash is the most vulnerable asset!

21 INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER CASH Separation of duties for ARC Authorizing, Recording, Custody Why?

22 INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER CASH Other Control Procedures Limit access to cash Limit cash on hand Bonding

23

24 INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER CASH Physical protection Surprise cash counts Prompt recording/deposits Using checks Bank reconciliation

25 CONTROL OF CASH CASH RECEIPTS

26 CONTROL OF CASH CASH RECEIPTS Preventative versus Detective controls what s the difference?

27 CONTROL OF CASH CASH RECEIPTS General Controls: 1) Record cash receipts immediately 2) Urge customers to pay by check 3) Separation of duties

28 CONTROL OF CASH RECEIVED IN MAIL (ON ACCOUNT) One employee: Compares cash received to remittance advice Restrictively endorses checks Sends cash to cashier for deposits it and sends copy of deposit slip to Accounting Department Sends remittance advices to Acc. Department to record and reconcile

29 CONTROL OF CASH RECEIVED IN MAIL (ON ACCOUNT) Independent person reconciles list of receipts to cash deposits on bank statement Cashier handles cash; Accounting Department records cash (good separation of duties)

30 CONTROL OF CASH RECEIVED FROM CASH SALES Remind customers to get receipt Cash registers or renumbered sales tickets Customer can see amount

31 CONTROL OF CASH RECEIVED FROM CASH SALES At end of shift, clerk and supervisor count cash and reconcile to register Send cash to cashier, who deposits it and sends copy of deposit slip to Acc. Dpt. Send register receipts to Acc. Dpt. to record journal entry and reconcile with amount deposited

32 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH What happens when you don t actually have as much cash in the cash drawer as you should have (per the register tape?) Use the account Cash Short and Over!

33 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH Are you short? Debit Cash Short and Over (like expense) Are you over? Credit Cash Short and Over (like revenue)

34 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH Journal entry: Cash (amount in drawer) Cash Short & Over (for shortage) Cash Short & Over (for overage) Sales (amount per register tape)

35 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH Balance in Cash Short and Over goes on Income Statement as: EXPENSE if it had DEBIT balance OR REVENUE if it had CREDIT balance at end of the period.

36 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH - EXAMPLE Barney Fife s cash register shows sales of $500, but only $491 is in the cash drawer. Are we over or short? $ = $9 short

37 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH - EXAMPLE Journal entry Cash ( ) 491 Cash Short and Over 9 Sales ( ) 500

38 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH - EXAMPLE Barney Fife s cash register shows sales of $500, but $504 is in the cash drawer. Are we over or short? $ = $4 over

39 DISCREPANCIES IN CASH - EXAMPLE Journal entry Cash ( ) 504 Sales ( ) 500 Cash Short and Over 4

40 HONEWORK: EXERCISE 7-12 EXERCISE 7-13 Recording cash sales

41 CASH RECEIVED FROM EFT Less costly than receiving cash Better internal controls - not handled by employees Speeds up processing of receipts

42 CONTROL OF CASH CASH PAYMENTS

43 INTERNAL CONTROL FOR PURCHASING AND PAYING FOR GOODS AND SERVICES PURCHASE ORDER

44 CONTROL OF PURCHASING Concerns: unauthorized purchases Key: proper documentation and authorization (separation of duties) Houghton Mifflin

45 INTERNAL CONTROL FOR PURCHASING AND PAYING FOR GOODS AND SERVICES Check Invoice SUPPLIER Deposit Ticket BANKING SYSTEM 3 7 Goods Purchase Order THE COMPANY 2 PURCHASING DEPARTMENT Purchase Requisition 1 REQUESTING DEPARTMENT Goods 4 RECEIVING DEPARTMENT Purchase Order Copy Receiving Report ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT 5 Check Authorization (with documentation) 6 TREASURER Monthly Bank Statement

46 VOUCHER SYSTEM Procedures, journals, forms to provide increased controls over cash payments Audit trail" of evidence Separates the duties of Authorizing expenditures Receiving goods/services Ensuring accuracy/validity of liabilities before paying them Paying expenditures

47 VOUCHER SYSTEM When expense incurred, prepare voucher - prenumbered form on which we document: Verified ACCURACY, VALIDITY of expenditure Expenditure has been AUTHORIZED for payment ACCOUNTS in which to record

48 VOUCHER SYSTEM Attach supporting documentation Voucher serves as "permission slip" to authorize payment for expenditure later Checks can be written only for APPROVED and AUTHORIZED vouchers

49 CASH PAID BY EFT Pay bills via computers Includes direct depositing of employee paychecks

50 HOMEWORK: EXERCISE 7-3 EXERCISE 7-10 PROBLEM 7-1A Identify internal control weakness

51 DESCRIBE THE NATURE OF A BANK ACCOUNT AND ITS USE IN CONTROLLING CASH

52 FEATURES OF BANK ACCOUNT Signature card Deposit ticket (receipt from bank) Check prenumbered, preprinted, encoded Drawer (maker) versus Payee Transaction Register Remittance Advice Bank Statement Multiple accounts

53 HOW DOES USE OF BANK ACCT. IMPROVE CONTROLS? Double record of transactions one by company, another by bank Can reconcile these two records but by who?

54 DESCRIBE AND ILLUSTRATE THE USE OF A BANK RECONCILIATION IN CONTROLLING CASH

55 BANK RECONCILIATION Provides control over cash Cash account balance on the books rarely agrees with that on the bank statement.

56 BANK RECONCILIATION Timing differences between when items are recorded on our books and when they are appear on the Bank Statement Must reconcile the bank and books to determine the true cash balance

57 ADJUSTMENTS Who do we make the adjustment to? Bank or books? Whoever is WRONG regarding the item!!

58 SAMPLE RECONCILIATION Balance per BANK Add: Adjustments Equals: Subtotal Less: Adjustments Adjusted bank balance Balance per BOOKS Add: Adjustments Equals: Subtotal Less: Adjustments Adjusted book balance XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX

59 Power Networking Bank Reconciliation July 31, 2003 Balance per bank statement $3, Add deposit of July 31, not recorded by bank $4, Deduct outstanding checks: No. 812 $1, No No , Adjusted balance $2, Balance per company s books $2, Add note and interest collected by bank $2, Deduct: Check NSF check returned $ Bank service charges Error in recording Check No Adjusted balance $2,630.99

60 ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE TO BOOKS Adjustments will be made to the BOOK balance when our BOOKS are WRONG regarding an item Be careful of the bank s use of debit & credit

61 ADJUSTMENTS TO ADD TO BOOKS Items bank has correctly recorded as increasing cash, but we haven t recorded them on our books yet Interest earned Note Receiv. collected by bank Errors we made that understate cash on books (overstate check or understate deposit) Why ADD these?

62 ADJUSTMENTS TO SUBTRACT FROM BOOKS Items bank has correctly recorded as decreasing cash, but we haven t recorded them on our books yet Bank Service Charges NSF Checks Errors we made that overstate cash on books (understate check or overstate deposit) Why SUBTRACT these?

63 ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE TO BANK Adjustments will be made to the BANK balance when the BANK is WRONG regarding an item

64 ADJUSTMENTS TO ADD TO BANK Items WE have correctly recorded as INCREASING cash, but the bank has NOT recorded them yet Deposits in transit Bank errors that UNDERSTATE cash at bank Why ADD these?

65 ADJUSTMENTS TO SUBTRACT FROM BANK Items WE have correctly recorded as DECREASING cash, but the bank has NOT recorded them yet Outstanding checks Bank errors that OVERSTATE cash at bank Why SUBTRACT these?

66 BANK RECONCILIATION Errors may occur by the bank or company and require reconciliation.
