Cash Fraud
Mac Faber was the controller of the Lewiston National Bank. In his position as controller, he was in
charge of all accounting functions. He wrote cashier’s checks for the bank and reconciled the bank
statements. He alone could approve exceptions to credit limits for bank customers, and even the
internal auditors reported to him. Unknown to the bank, Mac had recently divorced and was
supporting two households. In addition, many of his personal investments had soured, including a
major farm implement dealership that had lost $40,000 in the last year. Several months after Mac had
left the bank for another job, it was discovered that a vendor had paid twice and that the second
payment had been deposited in Mac’s personal account. Because Mac was not there to cover his
tracks (as he had been on previous occasions), an investigation ensued. It was determined that Mac
had used his position in the bank to steal $117,000 over a period of two years. Mac was prosecuted
and sentenced to 30 months in a federal penitentiary.

bank approve of it.
b. It is unfair that each category of customers gets different credit limits.
c. It is risky and leads to approval of extremely high outstanding personal loans and
credit balance and the internal auditors cannot independently report such weakness
due to the reporting structure.
d. Due to single control, the efficiency of recovery of loans and credits may be high.
c. 

1-c. In a bank, the internal auditor and accountant are the same. Does this indicate any violation of
internal control procedures.

report to a subset of board of directors to avoid conflict of interest and free and fair
reporting.

robust internal control procedure.
c. The flow of work from recording to auditing will happen simultaneously and can help
in cutting costs.

Which of the following statements describe the three most common cash controls that
companies use to safeguard cash?
1. Unification of duties in handling and controlling cash – When the handling of cash is
combined with the recording of cash, it becomes more difficult for theft or errors to
occur. If different employees handle cash and records cash then the cash itself could
be stolen and records falsified to cover up the theft.
2. Weekly deposits of all cash receipts – This control ensures that personal responsibility
for the handling of cash is assigned to the person responsible for making the deposits.
It also prevents that accumulation of large amounts of cash.
3. Payment of all expenditures by prenumbered check – By making payments with
prenumbered checks, payments are well documented. Payments made with pocket
cash are easily forgotten and easily concealed.
