P7-1C The Soccer Club decided to sell coupon books as a fund-raising activity. The books
allow users to enjoy restaurants, entertainment, and services such as oil changes, at sub-
stantial discounts. The club bought 100 books for $16 each, and members will sell them
for $20. About 20 members attended the last club meeting, and most took one or two
books to sell. Since the club had already paid for the books and didnt have other imme-
diate cash needs, members do not have to pay for the books until they sell them.
Extra books are stored on a book shelf in the clubs on-campus office. The office is
in a great location with plenty of student traffic. It is shared with the Marketing and
Information Systems clubs. Each club has four sets of keys that are used by its officers
and members.
As students sell books, they bring the cash or checks to the clubs office. Students
with unusual class schedules who arrive when the office is locked can put payments un-
der the door. Payments are stored in a desk drawer until the treasurer has time to make
a bank deposit. Students can pick up more books to sell as needed.

P7-2C Tom Hall has worked for Dr. Johnson for several years. Tom demonstrates a loy-
alty that is rare among employees. He is always willing to cover for other employees and
hasnt taken a vacation in three years.
One of Toms primary duties at the dental office is to open the mail, list checks re-
ceived, and prepare the bank deposit form.
He also collects cash from patients at the cashier window as patients leave. At times,
it is so hectic that Tom doesnt bother to give patients a receipt for the cash paid on their
accounts. He assures them he will see to it that they receive the proper credit. He is so
well known by most patients that no one has ever complained.
When traffic is slow in the office, Tom offers to help another employee, Sue, post the
payments to patients accounts receivable. Dr. Johnson installed a computerized account-
ing program that requires a user ID and password to log in, but Tom and Sue have found
that it is more efficient to just leave the computer on and the receivables file open all the
time, and minimize the file when it is not in use.
Instructions
Identify the principles of internal control that may be violated in this situation.

P7-8C Elite Service Company is a very profitable small business. It has not, however,
given much consideration to internal control. For example, in an attempt to keep cleri-
cal and office expenses to a minimum, the company has combined the jobs of cashier
and bookkeeper. As a result, Steve Evans handles all cash receipts, keeps the accounting
records, and prepares the monthly bank reconciliations.
The balance per the bank statement on March 31, 2012, was $5,931.51. Outstanding
checks were: No. 206 for $358.53, No. 441 for $292, No. 590 for $283.00, No. 781 for
$286.00, No. 782 for $319.47, and No. 783 for $303.14. Included with the statement
was a credit memorandum of $175 indicating the collection of a note receivable for Elite
Service Company by the bank on March 21. This memorandum has not been recorded
by Elite Service.
The companys ledger showed one cash account with a balance of $6,889.53. The
balance included undeposited cash on hand. Because of the lack of internal controls,
Steve took for personal use all of the undeposited receipts in excess of $1,591.63. He
then prepared the following bank reconciliation in an effort to conceal his theft of
cash.
Cash balance per books, March 31 $6,889.53

Instructions
(a) Prepare a correct bank reconciliation. (Hint: Deduct the amount of the theft from the
adjusted balance per books.)
(b) Indicate the three ways that Steve attempted to conceal the theft and the dollar amount
involved in each method.
(c) What principles of internal control were violated in this case?
