Sandhill Company is a very profitable small business. It has not, however, given much consideration to internal control. For example, in an attempt to keep clerical and office expenses to a minimum, the company has combined the jobs of cashier and bookkeeper. As a result, Bret Turrin handles all cash receipts, keeps the accounting records, and prepares the monthly bank reconciliations. The balance per the bank statement on October 31, 2022, was $18,971.00. Outstanding checks were No. 62 for $160.00, No. 183 for $180.00, No. 284 for $269.00, No. 862 for $226.00, No. 863 for $228.00, and No. 864 for $182.00. Included with the statement was a credit memorandum of $230.00 indicating the collection of a note receivable for Sandhill Company by the bank on October 25. This memorandum has not been recorded by Sandhill.
