Company Invoicing and Receivables

The company invoices customers for sales with an expected thirty-day collection period. The invoice is used to post-sales to the accounting system. Checks are received in the mailroom and logged into a deposits journal. The deposit is prepared and taken to the bank. The deposit slip is used as an original document to record cash in the accounting system. A copy of the deposits journal from the mailroom is used to credit customers for their payments. Assume that there are three general ledger accounts: cash, accounts receivable, and revenue. Instructions: The company’s owner reached out to you last month and requested a paid consultation regarding a plan to prevent and deter suspected theft. Given the facts above, present a preferred plan of action. Include brief explanations of at least 2 concepts that might apply to the scenario. After you explain the plan to the owner, he presents you with an alternative that would include hiring one mailroom/office employee, one accounting clerk, and one accounting supervisor (assume no controller, no internal audit, and an annual review and tax compliance—not an annual audit). Redesign an approach to create a robust skimming prevention environment. Include a graphic to depict these activities and their impact on the general ledger accounts. Include the necessary personnel and at least ten fraud prevention and deterrence tools and techniques to PREVENT a skimming scheme, assuming no collusion or management override. Post the personnel and those tools and techniques on the graphic. Length: 12-15 pages, the graphic component for this assignment should fit on 1 page, fit within margins, and have appropriate APA style caption. Use Times New Roman 10-12 point font. Limit the use of color to 3 light shades. References: Include a minimum of 10 scholarly resources.
