10. Electronic funds transfers normally result in better internal control since no
cash or cheques are handled by employees, thereby limiting the possibility
of misappropriation. However, controls over EFT payments (and
collections) do need to be put in place.

16. A bank contributes significantly to internal control over cash because it:
(1) safeguards cash on deposit, (2) minimizes the amount of cash that
must be kept on hand, and (3) provides another record of all bank
transactions.

17. The lack of agreement between the cash balances may be due to either:
(1) Timing differences—caused by recording a transaction on the
company’s books in one month and the bank recording it another
month (example – outstanding cheque) or the bank recording a
transaction first which the company will record after completing the
bank reconciliation (example – a bank service charge, or an NSF
cheque).
(2) Errors—made by either the company or the bank. For example, a
cheque for $110 is recorded by the depositor at $101.

18. (a) An NSF cheque is a cheque issued by a customer that was recorded
by the company when it was received and then deposited in the bank
only to discover later that the customer did not have the funds to
cover the cheque payment.
(b) An NSF cheque makes the bank balance lower than the book
balance and requires the book balance to be updated. Consequently,
it is deducted from the balance per books.
(c) An NSF cheque results in an entry in the company’s books, as a debit
to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Cash (assuming the cheque
deposited was a collection on account). The debit to Accounts
Receivable includes any additional charge that the bank may add for
their services with respect to the NSF cheque or the company may
add for late payment.

21. Cash includes cash on hand and cash in bank accounts. Cash equivalents
include short-term, highly liquid held-for-trading investments less any bank
overdrafts. Together, these two amounts combine and are reported as
cash and cash equivalents in the current assets section of the statement of
financial position.

22. Restricted cash is not available for general use as it is restricted for a
special purpose. When the restricted purpose is of a long-term nature, the
restricted cash is reported as a non-current asset. If it is expected to be
used within one year of the statement of financial position date, it would be
classified as a current asset and disclosed in the financial statements.
Compensating balances are minimum cash balances which lenders
specify that a borrower must maintain in the borrower’s bank account to
provide support for a loan. A compensating balance should be reported as
a non-current asset and the details of the loan conditions should be
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

23. The line of credit facility of $16 million does not represent a liability until
Brandon Corporation borrows (or draws) money under the line of credit.
In the notes to the financial statements, the terms of the line of credit and
its available limit of $16 million should be reported to demonstrate how
the business is well positioned to deal with future cash flow demands or
to take advantage of investment opportunities.

24. The basic principles of cash management are: (1) increase the speed of
collection on receivables, (2) keep inventory levels low, (3) delay payment
of liabilities, (4) plan the timing of major expenditures, (5) invest idle cash,
and (6) prepare a cash budget. The first three principles are ways to
increase cash on hand. The last three principles focus on making sure
management understands when cash balances will be high so that
investment income can be earned from idle cash and when cash
balances will be low so that bank loans or other financing can be
obtained.

25. Having too much cash on hand may hinder a business’ performance if the
cash cannot be used effectively and therefore not give a proper return to
the shareholders. Effective uses of cash can include upgrading existing
property, plant, and equipment, expanding the business, paying down
debt, repurchasing shares, or paying dividends.

1. (a) It is possible to detect this type of fraud by comparing the amount of
inventory consumed during the evening with the sales that were
recorded in cash registers.
(b) This fraud can be prevented by segregating the duties of those
individuals handling the drinks to those individuals having access to
the cash register. If additional staff is not available, the floor
supervisor should keep a close eye on the bartender or inventory
could be counted once a day.
2. (a) It is possible to detect this type of fraud as the bottles of liquor sold
to establishments are not the same as those sold at a liquor store. A
special label is attached, which can be detected at the end of the
shift. As well, if the additional empty bottles are on hand at the end
of the shift, when the inventory consumed (including the bartender’s
bottle) at the end of the bartender’s shift is compared to sales, a
discrepancy will be noticed.
(b) This fraud can be prevented by segregating the duties of those
individuals handling the drinks to those individuals having access to
the cash register. If additional staff is not available, the floor
supervisor should keep a close eye on the bartender and do a bottle
count at the end of the shift.
3. (a) It is possible to detect this type of fraud if someone notices that the
number of appointments and services given by the spa does not
reconcile to the revenue deposited in the bank account for the day.
Most businesses of this nature will have someone comparing the
bank deposit slips with the appointment schedule (often the
schedule will be printed off a day or two prior to the scheduled date).
(b) This fraud can be prevented by segregating the duties of those
individuals handling the appointments, to those handing the cash,
and again to those individuals making the bank deposit. If additional
staff is not available, the owner of the spa should at least make the
bank deposit and require that the scheduling software not allow
appointment changes on the day of the appointment.

The salts of barium are irritant with a special action on the nervous
system shown by weakened action of the heart and spasms or paresis
of the muscles. The chloride is used in staining wool, the nitrate and
chlorate in producing green colors in fireworks, the oxide and
carbonate in glassmaking, the chromate by painters, and the
sulphate for giving weight and body to various white powders. The
chloride is now largely used to stimulate intestinal peristalsis in
animals.
Symptoms. Barium chloride hypodermically produces tonic and
clonic convulsions, increased peristalsis, discharges of urine and
fæces, great restlessness, muscular prostration, emesis in vomiting
animals, hurried, shallow respiration, weak, thready pulse, asthenia,
coma, and death.
Lesions. There is congestion of the gastric and intestinal mucosa,
but this is rarely violent, and corrosion and ulceration are almost
unknown. The agent indeed seems to act more energetically upon the
nervous system than on the mucosa of the alimentary tract.
Treatment. This consists in giving an alkaline sulphate (sulphate
of soda, potash, or magnesia), to precipitate the insoluble barium
sulphate, with anodynes (opium) and mucilaginous agents.
POISONING BY IRON.
Sulphate and chloride on empty stomach poisonous. Symptoms: Colic, emesis,
rumbling, purging. Treatment: Alkaline or earthy carbonates, tannic acid,
albumen. Opium.
Sulphate and chloride are the principal poisonous compounds.
Both are comparatively harmless even in large doses taken on a full
stomach, while on an empty stomach they may cause violent gastro-
enteritis.
Symptoms. Colicy pains, purging, emesis in vomiting animals,
more or less tympany and rumbling of the bowels, and surface
coldness.
Treatment. Give carbonates of the alkalies, magnesia or lime to
precipitate the comparatively insoluble carbonate or oxide; or tannic
acid or infusion of oak bark or galls. White of egg, milk and
mucilaginous agents, and opium may be required to allay irritation.
POISONING BY CHROMIUM.
Chromic acid, chromate and bichromate of potash. Corrosive. Cause: Gastro-
intestinal inflammation, albuminuria, hæmaturia, emaciation, digital ulcers and
sloughs, colic. Diarrhœa, vertigo, stiffness, weakness. Lesions. Treatment: Emesis,
stomach pump, demulcents.
Bichromate of potash is used extensively in dyeing, calico printing,
in the manufacture of porcelain, in chemistry and photography, and
to a slight extent in medicine, while lead chromate (chrome yellow) is
a valuable pigment. Chromic acid is one of the most potent caustics,
at a moderately high temperature dissolving all animal products that
may be subjected to it. The chromate and bichromate of potash are
only less violently caustic, producing deep and fistulous sores on the
hands of the dyers, and acting in a similar manner on the mucosa of
the alimentary canal. Twenty-eight grains of the bichromate given by
the stomach killed a rabbit in two hours, while 45 grains of the
chromate had no such effect (Gmelin). Pelikan found that the
bichromate acted like arsenic or mercuric chloride, producing violent
irritation of the stomach and intestines, followed by albuminuria,
hæmaturia and emaciation: 1 to 5½ grains proved fatal to rabbits
and dogs.
Workmen inhaling the bichromate dust, have inflammation,
ulceration and finally destruction of the nasal septum, together with
skin eruptions and ulcerations.
Horses working at the factories have intractable ulcers of the skin
and sometimes shed the hoofs (B. W. Richardson).
Symptoms. Taken by the mouth the bichromate causes colicy
pains, emesis in vomiting animals, diarrhœa, great prostration, cold
extremities, vertigo, stiffness or weakness of the hind limbs, dilated
pupils, weak pulse and death. If protracted the urine may be bloody
and albuminous.
Lesions. There is more or less intense congestion of the stomach
and intestine, yellow shrunken mucosa, abrasions, sloughs, and
ulcers, and congested kidneys with yellow cloudiness of the
epithelium of the convoluted tubes and congestion of the glomeruli.
Treatment. Wash out the stomach by emesis or the stomach pump
and use albuminous and mucilaginous agents freely.
POISONING BY CARBOLIC ACID.
Susceptibility of cat and other animals. Fatal dose. Effect of dilution and gastric
plenitude. Concentrated is corrosive. Symptoms: Salivation, dysphagia, anorexia,
thirst, emesis, colic, arched back, odor of the acid, dark, greenish brown,
albuminous urine, tremors, lowered temperature, debility, stertor, stupor, coma.
Lesions: Whitened corroded mucosa, inflammation, ecchymosis, dark, liquid
blood, brain effusions or extravasations, nephritic congestion. Treatment: Vinegar,
alcohol, emesis, demulcents, Glauber salts.
The cat is the most susceptible to this poison. For dogs, cats and
rabbits from 3 to 4 drops per pound, is the minimum fatal dose. For
an ordinary dog the lethal dose is ½ to 1 drachm. The horse has
taken 3 ounces without fatal results, and 15 ounces in a week
(Munk). Much depends on the dilution of the agent and the
plenitude of the stomach. In a concentrated state it acts at once on
the mucosa as a caustic abstracting the water and forming a white
eschar.
Symptoms. The concentrated acid causes salivation, dysphagia,
anorexia, thirst, emesis in vomiting animals, colics, arched back,
retracted abdomen, odor of the acid in the breath, dark or greenish
brown albuminous urine, trembling, lowered temperature, debility,
stertorous breathing, clonic or tonic spasms, paralysis of the hind
limbs, stupor, coma and death.
Lesions. In the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines are whitish,
cauterized patches, with active inflammation beneath and around
them, and ecchymosis. The blood is fluid and dark colored,
extravasations or effusions on the brain or in the lateral ventricles,
with pulmonary congestion and parenchymatous nephritis.
Treatment. If available, give vinegar proportionate to the amount
of carbolic acid taken. Alcohol is a good substitute. Emesis should be
encouraged when available. Next mucilaginous agents and bland oils
to dilute the acid are required. Glauber salts may assist in
neutralizing and expelling the acid.
POISONING BY CREOSOTE.
Irritates, coagulates albumen, and blood, arrests heart, colic, emesis, salivation,
labored breathing, vertigo. Lesions: Congestion, corrosion, dark clotted blood,
odor. Treatment: Mucilaginous agents, emesis, oily laxatives.
On the mucous membrane creosote has a very irritant action,
coagulating the albumen, causing violent inflammation. It also
coagulates the blood and when injected into the veins, stops the
action of the heart. Taken by the mouth it causes violent colics,
emesis in vomiting animals, salivation, laborious breathing,
convulsions, vertigo and death. At the necropsy the stomach is found
congested of a dull red color, and corroded, and the vessels contain
dark clotted blood. A dog died from a dose of 2 drachms. The odor of
creosote is marked.
Treatment. Emesis, white of eggs, mucilaginous liquids, and oily
laxatives.
POISONING BY SEEDS OF RICINUS
COMMUNIS.
Superpurgation. Poison in seeds. Diluents, demulcents, stomach pump, laxatives
if necessary.
An overdose of castor oil may kill by gastro-intestinal congestion
and superpurgation. Apart from the oil however the seeds contain a
very active poison, which has been fatally ingested by horses with
grain or otherwise. Five and a half ounces of the seeds have proved
fatal. (Pelletier. Wende).
The symptoms are those of acute colic and gastro-enteritis. The
indications are to wash out the stomach by abundant demulcents
and the stomach pump, and if necessary to hasten the expulsion of
the offensive matters by bland laxatives (olive oil, Glauber salts).
POISONING BY CROTON SEEDS AND OIL.
Fatal dose without water. Vomiting animals. Superpurgation. Lesions.
Treatment: diluents, demulcents, stomach pump. Opiates.
One drachm of croton seeds given to a horse, without water proved
fatal in 24 hours (Morton); 2 drachms followed by all the water the
horse would drink produced most violent catharsis followed by
recovery (Hughes). Twenty to thirty drops of croton oil proved fatal;
8 drops in the jugular vein caused death (Hertwig). It is much less
fatal to cattle. Dogs and pigs vomit it so readily that they usually
survive with profuse catharsis.
The symptoms are profuse watery diarrhœa with tenesmus,
congested mucosæ, rapidly increasing weakness and small pulse,
becoming imperceptible.
The lesions are violent congestion of the mucosa of stomach and
intestines, concentrated very largely on the cæcum and colon.
Treatment consists in abundance of mucilaginous liquids, which
the animal readily drinks, and washing out the stomach with the
stomach tube or pump. Opiates may be demanded to calm the pain.
POISONING BY EUPHORBIA.
In Europe euphorbia lathyris has been found to produce in
animals, colic, constipation, tympany, followed by bloody diarrhœa,
stupor and hæmaturia. In America the euphorbia corollata (large
flowering spurge) and euphorbia ipecacuanhæ (ipecacuanha spurge)
though less potent have a similar action. Treatment consists in
favoring elimination by emesis, and abundant mucilaginous and
demulcent agents.
POISONING BY BOX LEAVES.
