    Accounting: cash handling and record keeping?
    What's wrong with the company's internal control?


    Fran Jones opens the company's mail and makes a listing of all checks and cash received from customers. A copy of the list is sent to Jerry McDonald who maintains the general ledger accounts. Fran prepares and makes the daily deposit at the bank. Fran also maintains the subsidiary ledger for accounts receivable, which is used to generate monthly statements to customers.

    Dah! You really don't see the problem? The purpose of internal control is to separate functions so that a person receiving money doesn't have opportunity to manipulate accounts
