Identifying internal control weakness in cash receipts
Pendley Productions makes all sales on credit. Cash receipts arrive by mail. Larry
Chipello, the mailroom clerk, opens envelopes and separates the checks from the
accompanying remittance advices. Chipello forwards the checks to another employee,
who makes the daily bank deposit but has no access to the accounting records.
Chipello sends the remittance advices, which show cash received, to the accounting
department for entry in the accounts. Chipello鈥檚 only other duty is to grant sales
allowances to customers. (A sales allowancedecreases the customer鈥檚 account receivable.)
When Chipello receives a customer check for \(575 less a \)45 allowance, he records the
sales allowance and forwards the document to the accounting department.
Requirements
1. Identify the internal control weakness in this situation.
2. Who should record sales allowances?
3. What is the amount that should be shown in the ledger for cash receipts?
