Shiny Happy Windows Co. (SHW) is a window cleaning company. Customers' windows are cleaned monthly, and the window cleaner then posts a stamped addressed envelope for payment through the customer's front door.

SHW has a large number of receivable balances and these customers pay by cheque or cash, which is received in the stamped addressed envelopes by mail. The following procedures are applied to the cash received cycle:

1. A junior clerk from the accounting department opens the mail, and if any cheques or cash have been sent, she records the receipts in the cash received log and then places all the monies into the locked cash box.

2. The contents of the cash box are counted each day, and every few days these sums are deposited at the bank by whichever member of the accounting team is available.

3. The cashier records the details of the cash received into the cash receipts journal and also updates the sales ledger.

4. Usually on a monthly basis, the cashier performs a bank reconciliation, which he then files. If he misses a month, he then catches this up in the following month's reconciliation.
