11 C 1 Technology and Internal Control Reduce Processing Errors More Extensive Testing of Records Limited Evidence of Processing Increased e-commerce Crucial Separation of Duties 6-11

12 C1 Control of Cash An effective system of internal control that protects cash and cash equivalents should meet three basic guidelines: Handling cash is separate from recordkeeping of cash. Cash receipts are promptly deposited in a bank. Cash disbursements are made by check. 6-12

13 P1 Control of Cash Receipts n n Over-the-Counter Cash Receipts Cash register with locked-in record of transactions. Compare cash register record with cash reported. 6-13

14 P1 Control of Cash Disbursements n n n All expenditures should be made by check. The only exception is for small payments from petty cash. Separate authorization for check signing and recordkeeping duties. Use a voucher system. 6-14

15 P2 Petty Cash System of Control Small payments required in most companies for items such as postage, courier fees, repairs and supplies. 6-15

16 Setting up a Petty Cash Fund Petty Cash (asset) $400 Cash (asset) $400 We write a check from our bank account. Cash it at the bank to get $400 in small bills and place it into our metal box which is then locked in a desk drawer.

24 P3 Bank Reconciliation A bank reconciliation is prepared periodically to explain the difference between cash reported on the bank statement and the cash balance on company s books. Bank Statement First National Bank Nashville, TN May 31, 2009 Clothes Mart Nashville, TN Previous Balance Total Checks Acct No Total Deposits Current Balance , , , / /2 1, / / / / / / / / / * 5/ Why are the balances different? GENERAL LEDGER Account: Cash Acct. No. 102 Balance Date Item PR Debit Credit DR (CR) May 31 Balance 2,

25 P3 Reconciling Items Bank Statement Balance l Add: l l Deposits in transit. Deduct: Outstanding Checks Add or Deduct: Bank errors. Book Balance Add: Collections made by the bank.

26 Go over Ex 6-9

27 Go over Ex 6-10

28 P3 Bank Reconciliation Two sections: Reconcile bank statement balance to the adjusted bank balance. Reconcile book balance to the adjusted book balance. The adjusted balances should be equal. 6-28

29 P3 Bank Reconciliation Example Let s prepare a July 31 bank reconciliation statement for the Simmons Company. n n The July 31 bank statement indicated a balance of $9,610. The cash general ledger account on that date shows a balance of $7,430. Additional information necessary for the reconciliation is shown on the next screen. 6-29

30 P3 Bank Reconciliation Example 1. Outstanding checks totaled $2, A $500 check mailed to the bank for deposit had not reached the bank at the statement date. 3. The bank returned a customer s NSF check for $225 received as payment on account receivable. 4. The bank statement showed $30 interest earned during July. 5. Check No. 781 for supplies expense cleared the bank for $268 but was erroneously recorded in our books as $ A $486 deposit by Acme Company was erroneously credited to our account by the bank. 6-30

31 P3 Bank Reconciliation Example Only these adjustments require journal entries Simmons Company Bank Reconciliation July 31, 2013 Bank Balance, July 31 $ 9,610 Add: Deposit in Transit 500 Less: Bank Error $ 486 Outstanding Checks 2,417 (2,903) Adjusted Balance, July 31 $ 7,207 Book Balance, July 31 $ 7,430 Add: Interest 30 Less: Recording Error $ 28 NSF Check 225 (253) Adjusted Balance, July 31 $ 7,

32 P3 Recording Adjusting Entries from a Bank Reconciliation Only amounts shown on the book portion of the reconciliation require an adjusting entry. Dr. Cr. July 31 Cash 30 Interest revenue 30 July 31 Supplies expense 28 Accounts receivable 225 Cash

33 P3 Recording Adjusting Entries from a Bank Reconciliation After posting the reconciling entries the cash account looks like this: GENERAL LEDGER Account: Cash Acct. No. 101 Balance Date Item PR Debit Credit DR (CR) July 31 Balance 7, Adjusting entry 30 7, Adjusting entry 253 7,207 Adjusted balance on July

34 A1 Days Sales Uncollected Measures a company s ability to manage its cash And receivables. How much time is likely to pass before we receive cash receipts from credit sales? Days Sales Uncollected = Accounts Receivable Net Sales
