During the preparation of the bank reconciliation for The Image Co., Chris Renees, the assistant controller, discovered that Empire National Bank incorrectly recorded a $936 check written by The Image Co. as $396. Chris has decided not to notify the bank but wait for the bank to detect the error. Chris plans to record the $540 error as Other Income if the bank fails to detect the error within the next three months.
Discuss whether Chris is behaving in a professional manner.
