Problem 3

Irene Corporation was organized on Jan 15, 2024 and started operation soon thereafter. The company
cashier who acted also as the bookkeeper had kept the accounting records very haphazardly. The
manager suspects of him of defalcation and engaged you to audit his account to find out the extent of
the fraud, if there is any. On November 15, when you started the examination of the accounts, you find
the cash on hand to be 25,700. From inquiry at the bank, it was ascertained that the balance of the
Company’s bank deposit in current account on the same due was 131,640. Verification revealed that the
check issued for 9,260 is not yet paid by the bank. The corporation sells at 40% above cost.
