Do not discuss deficiencies in the system of internal control. During the year, Strang Corporation began to encounter cash flow difficulties, and a cursory review by management revealed receivable collection problems. Strang’s management engaged Elaine Stan ley, CPA, to perform a special investigation. Stanley studied the billing and collection cycle and noted the following: The accounting department employs one bookkeeper who receives and opens all incoming mail. This bookkeeper is also responsible for depositing receipts, filing daily remittance advices, recording receipts in the cash receipts journal, and posting receipts in the individual customer accounts and the general ledger accounts. There are no cash sales. The bookkeeper prepares and controls the mailing of monthly statements to customers. The concentration of functions and the receivable collection problems caused Stanley to suspect that a systematic theft of customers’ payments through a delayed posting of remittances (lapping of accounts receivable) is present.arrow_forward
