P7-6A Nature Hill Middle School wants to raise money for a new sound system for its
auditorium. The primary fund-raising event is a dance at which the famous disc jockey
Obnoxious Al will play classic and not-so-classic dance tunes. Rob Drexler, the music and
theater instructor, has been given the responsibility for coordinating the fund-
raising efforts. This is Rob's first experience with fund-raising. He decides to put the
eighth-grade choir in charge of the event; he will be a relatively passive observer.
Rob had 500 unnumbered tickets printed for the dance. He left the tickets in a box on his
desk and told the choir students to take as many tickets as they thought they could sell for
£5 each. In order to ensure that no extra tickets would be floating around, he told them to
dispose of any unsold tickets. When the students received payment for the tickets, they
were to bring the cash back to Rob and he would put it in a locked box in his desk drawer.
Some of the students were responsible for decorating the gymnasium for the dance. Rob
gave each of them a key to the money box and told them that if they took money out to
purchase materials, they should put a note in the box saying how much they took and
what it was used for. After 2 weeks the money box appeared to be getting full,
so Rob asked Erik Radley to count the money, prepare a deposit slip, and deposit the
money in a bank account Rob had opened.
The day of the dance, Rob wrote a check from the account to pay the DJ. Obnoxious Al,
however, said that he accepted only cash and did not give receipts. So Rob took £200 out
of the cash box and gave it to Al. At the dance, Rob had Sobia Hamm working at the
entrance to the gymnasium, collecting tickets from students, and selling tickets to those
who had not prepurchased them. Rob estimated that 400 students attended the dance.
The following day, Rob closed out the bank account, which had £250 in it, and gave that
amount plus the £180 in the cash box to Principal Coleman. Principal Coleman seemed
surprised that, after generating roughly £2,000 in sales, the dance netted only £430 in
cash. Rob did not know how to respond.

P7-113 Orpheum Theater is located in the Vancouver Mall. A cashier's booth is located
near the entrance to the theater. Three cashiers are employed. One works from 1-5 p.m.,
another from 5-9 p.m. The shifts are rotated among the three cashiers. The
cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially
numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the
theater manager at the beginning of each cashier's shift.
After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to an usher stationed at the
entrance of the theater lobby some 6o feet from the cashier's booth. The usher tears
the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer.
The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the usher.
At the end of each cashier's shift, the theater manager removes the ticket rolls from the
machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the
end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault
located in the mall. The manager also sends copies of the deposit slip and the
initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the
company's accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located
in the manager's office.
Instructions
1. Identify the internal control principles and their application to the cash receipts
transactions of the Orpheum Theater.
2. If the usher and cashier decide to collaborate to misappropriate cash, what actions
might they take?

P7-6B Stupendous Ltd. is a very profitable small business. It has not, however, given
much consideration to internal control. For example, in an attempt to keep clerical and
office expenses to a minimum, the company has combined the jobs of cashier and
bookkeeper. As a result, Jake Burnett handles all cash receipts, keeps the accounting
records, and prepares the monthly bank reconciliations.
The balance per the bank statement on October 31, 2017, was £15,313. Outstanding
checks were no. 62 for £107.74, no. 183 for £127.50, no. 284 for £215.26, no. 862 for
£132.10, no. 863 for £192.78, and no. 864 for £140.49. Included with the statement was
a credit memorandum of £460 indicating the collection of a note receivable for
Stupendous by the bank on October 25. This memorandum has not been recorded by
Stupendous.
The company's ledger showed one cash account with a balance of £18,608.81. The
balance included undeposited cash on hand. Because of the lack of internal controls,
Burnett took for personal use all of the undeposited receipts in excess of £3,226.18. He
then prepared the following bank reconciliation in an effort to conceal his theft of cash.
