Narrative Documentation
The accounting-in-charge and the cashier of Yamaha 3S shop refers only to one person.
She receives the cash payment from the customer and issues an official pre-numbered receipt. She
will retain a duplicate copy of the official receipt and input the transaction in their Point-of-sale
system which will automatically journalize and post it to appropriate accounts. The cash collected
will be kept in a drawer which can only access by the cashier and branch manager. By 4:00 P.M.,
the cashier will make a tender declaration that summarizes all cash transactions during the day. To
make sure that all transaction in the tender declaration is accurate and complete, an X-Reading
which is generated by their system will be produced. A further finalization and overall review of
all transactions is also generated by their system which they termed as Z-Reading. This Z-
Reading will not be created if there is any detected error in their recorded transaction. If this
happens, the cashier will review all the transactions, ask help from the head office if necessary and
make the needed adjustments.
All cash collected during the day will be deposited to the bank by the Branch Manager or
the Sales Executive. The deposit slip is prepared and reconciled to the cash summary by the
cashier. A second cash count will also be made by the Branch Manager to verify the reported
amount of cash. A logbook is also used by the cashier where all deposits are recorded. If there will
be additional cash collection after 4:00 P.M., the cash will be put inside a vault accessed by the
Branch Manager only. This will be deposited in the bank as a second batch together with the cash
collection for the next day.
Moreover, another personnel is assigned for any check collections. Checks are received by
the companys loan processor. If the check given by the customer is post-dated, it is keep in the
cashiers drawer for the meantime and will be sent every Tuesday and Thursday to the head office.
In this case, a provisional receipt which is a temporary receipt is issued to the customer. The
official receipt will only be given to the customer if the head office has already endorsed the check
to the bank. If the checks are on-date, it will be immediately deposited to the bank and an official
receipt is handed to the customer.
11
Furthermore, the provisional receipt is issued to a customer if the POS system is found to
have a problem. The transaction will be recorded to the system if the problem has already been
solved. On the other hand, there is also a roving notes receivable in-charge delegated by the head
office who will reconcile customer accounts and receipt records. She is also assigned to check and
reconcile any customer accounts.
The head office will then be the one who will update the general ledger accounts, perform
bank reconciliation and prepare financial statements to complete the cash receipt transaction cycle.

ASSESSMENT AND SYNTHESIS
Weakness
1. Segregation of Duties
The personnel in-charge in accounting is also the only cashier of the entity. She
mostly do all the cash-related job of the company. She receives all the money and is
responsible for recording it to their system and its safekeeping. This could create a doubt
whether the cashier is doing her job honestly or not.
Despite of this weakness, the company can still compensate it because of their:
2. Timeliness
All cash collected are deposited in the bank at four o'clock pm every day. Cash
sales after the cut-off time are retained inside a safe vault to be deposited in the bank the
next day.
4. Confidentiality
Unauthorized persons are not allowed to access or keep the records and other
information of the cash receipt transaction.
13
5. Restricted Access of Cash
Cash are also kept in a drawer with the cashier and branch managers access and a
safety vault which can only be accessed by the manager.
Recommendation
Since the group concludes that it is more efficient to rely on the internal control systems
the following procedure shall be conducted for the testing of controls:
1. Inquire the company's employees, receive confirmation from the employees and the
customers and observe the cash receipt process to conclude whether the control procedures are
implemented.
2. Inspect the documents and evaluate the computer system of the company.
3. Recalculate the company's record of sales and reperform the company's procedures.
