- On February 15, 2022, Kate Collins, owner of Kate’s Cards, asks you to investigate the cash han- dling activities in her business. She believes that a new employee might be stealing funds. “I have no proof,” she says, “but I’m fairly certain that the January 31, 2022, undeposited receipts amounted to more than $12,000, although the January 31 bank reconciliation prepared by the cashier (who works in the treasurer’s department) shows only $7,238.40. Also, the January bank reconciliation doesn’t show several checks that have been outstanding for a long time. The cashier told me that these checks needn’t appear on the reconciliation because he had notified the bank to stop payment on them and he had made the necessary adjustment on the books.

After a while, another customer pays $900 cash for an outstanding debt. The company deposits $800 of this amount to its bank. Then, the company decides to pay one half of its debts via EFT(electronic funds transfer), and the other half of its debts by issuing its own checks.
