INTERNAL CONTROL OF CASH:

 
Cash – includes coins, checks, money orders, bank drafts and other
forms of money substitutes that can be accepted at face value
upon deposit and can be used for general disbursement purposes.
Money on deposit is also included in cash provided there is no
restriction as to its withdrawal.

Preventive Controls – are procedures designed to detect, prevent

and protect cash from the theft and misuse from the time cash is
received until it is deposited to a bank.
 
Internal Controls – refer to those steps and procedures the business
takes to protect cash and other assets.
Examples are:
 
1. Limiting the number of persons handling cash.
2. The cashier must not have access to the accounting
records.
3. Bonding (insuring) employees who handle cash or cash
records.
4. Using a safe or a cash register.
5. Depositing cash receipts in the bank daily.
6. Using checks to make all cash payments.
7. Establish petty cash for making small payments.
Module 3– Constructive Accounting

IMPEREST CASH SYSTEM

Cash is the business’s most liquid asset and it needs the greatest
protection to prevent loss or waste. One of the most commonly used
controls is a checking account.
Checking Account – is blank account that allows a bank customer to
deposit cash and to write checks against the account balance.

Depositor – is a person or business that has cash on deposit in a bank.

To open a checking account, a person or business owner must fill a
signature card, deposit minimum cash required by the bank, and
acquire a checkbook.

Signature Card – contains the signature(s) of the person (s) authorized to

write checks on the bank account. The signature cash is kept on file
by the bank so that it can be matched against signed checks
presented for payment. This helps protect both the account holder
and the bank against checks with forged signatures.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting

MAKING DEPOSITS
 
A business should make regular daily deposits of their collections to protect cash
(coins, bills and checks) it receives.

Recording Deposits in the Checkbook – the checks stubs in the checkbook are a
duplicate record of the Cash in Bank account. The completed check stubs
contain the records of all checking account transactions: deposits, withdrawals
and bank service charges.

WRITING CHECKS:
Writing checks is a simple procedure governed by a few important rules. These rules
must be followed to ensure correct record keeping and proper handling of the
money represented by the check. Complete the check stub before writing the
check to remove the chance of forgetting to complete the stub.
 
1. Write the checks in ink. Written in pencil is not acceptable.
2. Checks should preferably be typewritten.
3. Check writers are used by some companies for security and control.
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting

Check – is a written document signed by the depositor, ordering the

bank to pay a sum of money to an individual or entity.
Module 3- Constructive Accounting

Drawer – is the one who signs the check ordering the bank to
make payment
Drawee – is the bank on which the check is drawn.

Payee – is the part to whom payment is to be made.

Deposit Slip – is a bank form on which the currency (bills and

coins) and checks to be deposited are listed. The deposit slip
or ticket gives both the depositor and the bank a detailed
record of a deposit. The bank teller validates the deposit. The
bank teller validates the deposit slip before a copy given to the
depositor or representative.

CHECKING THE CASH BALANCE

 
The balance in the Cash in Bank account in the general ledger is regularly
compared with the balance in the checkbook. This is to check whether all the
deposits and payments by checks are recorded in the books. If they do not tally,
the error must be located and corrections be made. If the balance in the general
ledger is in agreement with the balance as per the checkbook, the balance will
now be compared with the bank statement.
 
Bank Statement – is an itemized record of all transactions occurring in a
depositor’s account over a given month. This includes

• Cash balance at the beginning of the month.

• List of all deposits made by the business during the month.
• List of all check paid by the bank during the month.
• List of any other deductions from the depositor’s account.
• List of any other credits to the depositor’s account.
• Checking account balance at the end of the month.
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting

Cancelled Checks – checks paid by the bank that were deducted from the
depositor’s account and returned together with the monthly bank statement sent by
the bank to the depositor.
 
Bank Reconciliation – the process of determining any difference between the
balance shown on the bank statement and the cash per book balance. Three
common differences between the bank statement and the checkbook balance are:
a.) Deposit in Transit, b.) Outstanding Checks, and c.) Bank Service Charges.
 
The New City Bank Statement of Account showed a balance of P31, 893.20 as of
July 31, 20CY, a bank service charge (bsc) of P500 and a credit memo (cm) for P3,
030.00. Below is the last check issued on July 31, 20CY and the checkbook showed
a deposit of P7, 845.80 and the cash balance of P32, 887.90 as of July 31, 20CY.
The checkbook and the cash per book balance are in agreement.
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting

Note: The checkbook balance and the bank statement balance are not in agreement. The causes of the
difference are the deposit in transit, outstanding checks, bank service charge, and credit memo for note collected
by the bank and NSF (No Sufficient Fund) check.
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting

Deposit in Transit or Outstanding Deposit – is a deposit that has been made

and recorded in the depositor’s book but that does not appear in the bank
statement. Usually this is the end of the month deposit.
 
Outstanding Checks – are checks that have been written and recorded in the
depositor’s book but not yet presented for payment to the bank.
 
Bank Service Charge – is a fee charged by the bank for maintaining bank records
and for processing bank statement items for the depositor.
 
Bank Debit Memo – is a charge made by the bank to the depositor’s account,
usually for bank service charge.
Module 3 - Constructive Accounting

Bank Credit Memo – is a credit made by the bank to the depositor’s account,
sometimes for interest credit on deposits or collection made by the bank for the
depositor’s account.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

NSF Check – is one returned by the bank because there are no sufficient funds in
the drawer’s checking account to cover the amount of the check. Under the current
practice, when a depositor receives a check payment from a customer and deposits
it in the bank, the bank will not credit the depositor’s account until it is cleared by the
drawee bank. If not cleared, the bank returns this check to the depositor as an NSF
check with corresponding bank charges.

BANK RECONCILIATION STATEMENT – it is assumed that there are no

recording errors made by the bank or the depositor but the reconciliation statement
should provide space in case such error/s occurs. Normally there are many
outstanding checks to be listed, that is why the reconciliation statement provides for
the purpose.

If the adjusted balances match, the bank statement has been reconciled. If the
adjusted balances do not match, the error must be found and corrected.

Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Book Adjustments – Entries must be made in the depositor’s books that

affect the business’s cash per reconciliation above.
 
July31 Cash in Bank 3,030.00
Notes Receivable 3,000.00
Interest Income 30.00
 
31 Accounts Receivable 2,000.00
Miscellaneous Expenses 500.00
Cash in Bank 2,500.00
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Step 1
Steps in Reconciling a Bank Statement:
• Arrange the cancelled issued/cleared checks in numerical order. Compare the
canceled checks with those listed on the bank statement and with the check
stubs and recorded per books.
• List on the bank reconciliation form, by number and amount, all checks issued
which not part of the cancelled checks or listed on the bank statement. These
are the outstanding checks.
• Compare deposits listed on the bank statement to deposits listed and recorded
per books. Deposits per books not listed on the bank statement are deposits in
transit.
• List debit and credit memos listed in the bank statement but not yet recorded in
the depositor’s books.
• List NSF checks returned by the bank for No Sufficient Funds.
 Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Step 2
1. Enter the ending balance shown on the bank statement.
2. Add the total outstanding deposits to the bank statement balance.
3. Add bank error charged to the depositor’s account.
4. Deduct total outstanding checks.
Step 3
 
5. Deduct the bank error credited to the depositor’s account.
6. Determine the adjusted bank balance.

Step 3
7. Enter the ending cash balance per checkbook or book balance.
8. Add the credit memo credited by the bank not yet recorded.
9. Add book error causing reduction to the cash account.
10. Deduct the debit memo debited by the bank not yet recorded.
11. Deduct NSF Check returned by the bank.
12. Deduct book error causing increase to the cash account.
13. Determine the adjusted book balance.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

PETTY CASH

Petty Cash Fund – it is a cash fund established by the business to handle

small, incidental cash payments.

Petty Cash Fund Custodian – It is the person responsible for maintaining

petty cash fund and for making disbursement from the fund.

Establishing the Petty Cash Fund – Before a petty cash fund is established, a
business must determine the amount of cash needed in the fund. The
business estimates the amount of cash that it will need for a certain period of
time, usually a month. The entry to establish a petty cash fund is as follows:

Aug. 1 Petty Cash Fund 3,000.00

Cash in Bank 3,000.00
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Making Petty Cash Payments – The petty cash fund custodian is responsible
for making payments from the petty cash fund. Whenever a cash payment is
made, a petty cash voucher or receipt is completed.  
Petty Cash Voucher/Receipt - It is a proof of payment from the petty cash
fund.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Replenishing Petty Cash – As payment are made out of the petty cash fund, the amount
of cash in the petty cash box decreases. Replenishing the petty cash fund restores the
fund to its original balance. If the petty cash vouchers, coins and currency total differ
from the established fund, there is cash short or over.

Assuming at the end of the month the summary of petty cash payments are: Office
Supplies – P544.60; Delivery Expense – P345.90; Advertising Expense – P300.00; Travel
Expenses – P200.00; Miscellaneous Expense – P480.80.
The entry to replenish the fund is:

Aug. 31 Office Supplies 544.60

Delivery Expense 345.90
Advertising Expense 300.00
Travel Expense 200.00
Miscellaneous Expense 480.80
Cash in Bank 1,871.30
Note: Petty Cash fund is debited only when the fund is set up or the amount of the fund
is increased.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 1:

The accounting records of Jumbo Company indicated the following

summary of data for cash receipts and payments for July of the current year.
July 1 Cash balance – P78,870.00; Total cash receipts – P579,432.00; Total
checks issued – P564,116.40. The bank statement received for July 31
indicates a balance of P 182,862.20.

SINGLE ENTRY SYSTEM:

Single Entry Bookkeeping System – is a method used where transactions are

recorded without analyzing and considering the dual effect of each transaction as
is done in double entry system. The single entry method will result to have
records that are incomplete.

Under the single entry system transactions are recorded normally to maintain
record of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, property and equipment,
and expenses paid. The most important record under the single entry system is
the Cash Record or the Cash Book.

Under this method the cash record or cash book shows the cash receipts and
payments with description of what is received and paid but without specific debits
or credits. With respect to accounts receivable and accounts payable, only a list
of customers and creditors is available with their corresponding balances.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN SINGLE ENTRY SYSTEM:

 
1.      Determining the firm’s net income or loss.
2.      Preparation of Income Statement.
3.      Preparation of Balance Sheet.

For Proprietor or Partnership:
 
Capital, end of the accounting period P xxx
Add: Withdrawals during the period xxx
Total P xxx
Less: Capital, beginning of the accounting period P xxx
Additional Investment xxx
Net Income (Loss) P xxx

RECONSTRUCTING INCOMPLETE RECORDS:

 
Income statement accounts are reconstructed from single entry
recordings with reference to cash receipts, cash
disbursements and the changes in assets and liabilities are:
 
1.      Sales
2.      Purchases
3.      Income other than sales
4.      Operating Expenses including depreciation
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Balance sheet accounts not determinable from incomplete records may be done as
follows:
 
a. CASH- this can be determined through cash count and by looking at the ban
statement.

b. NOTES and ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – this can be determined by summarizing the

uncollected sales invoices and the confirmed promissory notes of tecustomers.

c. INVENTORY and SUPPLIES ON HAND at the end- that can be determined by physical
count. To check the accuracy of the count, the beginning inventory plus the
purchases minus the sales (in the case of inventory) or used (in the case of
supplies) should be equal to the ending inventory.

d. Property ad Equiptment- thiscan be determined by loking at the deed of sale and

other documents evidencing ownwership.

e. NOTES and ACCOUNTS PAYABLE- this can be determined from by summarizing the
unpaid invoices and the confirmed promissory notes given to the suppliers.

f. OWNER’S EQUITY OR CAPITAL- this can be determined by subtracting the assets and
liabilities as of any given date.

ACCRUAL VERSUS CASH BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:

 
Accrual Basis of Accounting – this method recognizes and records
revenues, services provided or products sold, when earned
regardless of whether cash has been received. It also recognizes
and records expenses when incurred regardless of whether cash
has been paid. The accrual method is the best method of
measuring income for most businesses.
 
Cash Basis of Accounting – this method recognizes and records
revenues, services provided or products sold, only when cash has
been received expenses only when cash has been paid. The cash
method is used in some small businesses.

ERROR CORRECTIONS
 
Kinds of Errors:
 
1. Clerical Errors –errors that are normally detected in the performance of the
accounting procedures and are immediately corrected. Examples are arithmetical
errors (error in addition, subtraction, multiplication or division), posting to the
wrong side or account, misstating an amount (over or understated) or error of
omission.
2.  
2. Balance Sheet Errors – errors that will affect only the real accounts (balance
sheet accounts). Examples are misstatement of balnce sheet items, errors in the
classification such as current asset is eroneously classified as non-current asset,
etc.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

3.Income Statement Errors – errors that will affect only the nominal
accounts (income statement accounts). Examples are misstatement in
the classification of expenses such as curent asset is eroneously
charged to miscellaneous expense, etc.
4. 
4. Errors affecting both Balance Sheet and Income Statement – errors
that will affect assets, liability or equity accounts that will have a
corresponding effect on income or expense items. The effect will either
understate or overstate assets, liabilities or equity accounts with
corresponding understatement or overstatement of income and revenue
items that will understate or overstate net income.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

Errors Affecting Balance Sheet and Income Statement – The errors that
affect both these statements are either counterbalancing or non-
counterbalancing.
 
Counterbalancing Errors – are errors that will be offset or corrected over two
periods.
 
Non-counterbalancing Errors – are errors that are not offset in the next
accounting period.
 
COUNTERBALANCING ERRORS – First determine whether or not the books
have been closed for the period in which the error is found.
 
If the books have been closed:
 
a.      If the error is already counterbalanced, no entry is necessary.
b.   If the error is not yet counterbalanced, an entry is necessary to adjust the
present balance of capital or retained earnings.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
 
OBJECTIVES:

1. It attempts to evaluate a business entity for financial and management decision

making purposes.
2. It explores some aspect of a firm’s profitability or its risk (short – term and Long
– term Liquidity, or both).
3. It attempts to measure the firm’s operational efficiency and investment provided
by owners and creditors.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

In order to draw valid conclusions about the financial health of an entity, it is

essential to analyze and compare specific types and source of information.
This analysis would include consideration of the following:

1. A review of the firm’s accounting policies.

2. An examination of recent auditors reports.
3. Analysis of footnotes and other supplemental information accompanying
the various financial statements, and
4. Additional information provided by trade journals and industry
publications.
 Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

HOW TO ANALYZE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

1. Comparative Statements – The presentation of financial information for current

and prior periods, which allows the statement user to compare changes in the
individual items.

2. Horizontal Analysis – The presentation of financial statement data on a

percentage basis over time. An index value of 100 is assigned to each particular
base year. In succeeding years, peso amount of each item is divided by the peso
amount of the same item in the base year. The result is the presentation of the
relative growth or decline of each item in terms of the base year.

3. Vertical Analysis – The presentation of each item on a financial statement as a

percentage of an appropriate base amount. Statements presented in this form are
known as Common- size Statements. In an income statement, the base amount is
Total Net Sales expressed as 100%. In the balance asset, the base amount is
Total Assets or Total Liabilities and Owner’s Equity expressed also as 100%.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

RATIO ANALYSIS

USES OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

 
1. It provides an indication of the firm’s financial strengths
and weaknesses and should generally be used in
conjunction with other evaluation techniques.
2. Ratios are useful tools of financial statement analysis
because they summarize data in a form easy to
understand, interpret, and compare.
Module 3 – Constructive Accounting

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM RATIO ANALYSIS

 
1.      Short-Term Solvency – The ability of a firm to meet its current
obligations as they mature.
 
2.      Long –Term Solvency – The ability of the firm to meet interest
payments, preferred dividend, and other charges. Long – term solvency is
a required precondition for the repayment of principal.
 
3.      Operational Efficiency – The ability of the business entity to
generate income and earn a satisfactory return on investments.
 
4.      Profitability – The ability of the firm to generate income and earn
satisfactory returns to common stockholders.
 
5.      Investment Analysis – Measures total investment provided by
stockholders and T. resources provided by the creditors.
