0:00:00.370,0:00:00.639
All right,

0:00:00.720,0:00:03.920
let's talk about some examples for internal controls just for cash.

0:00:04.239,0:00:04.659
OK.

0:00:04.940,0:00:05.119
There's

0:00:05.239,0:00:06.880
some pretty straightforward ones.

0:00:07.409,0:00:07.650
Effective

0:00:07.650,0:00:08.630
internal control

0:00:08.720,0:00:09.199
will

0:00:09.640,0:00:10.479
protect cash,

0:00:10.520,0:00:11.909
and they should meet three guidelines,

0:00:11.960,0:00:12.340
OK?

0:00:12.560,0:00:13.539
These are what the,

0:00:13.640,0:00:15.390
what you should follow when you're

0:00:15.439,0:00:15.750
creating

0:00:15.760,0:00:18.280
examples of internal controls just specifically for cash.

0:00:18.559,0:00:21.110
One is I want to handle cash or the handling of cash

0:00:21.280,0:00:22.559
is separate from the recordkeeping.

0:00:22.639,0:00:22.959
Again,

0:00:23.110,0:00:25.229
that's the most common one is separation of duties.

0:00:25.399,0:00:27.559
I don't want the person with custody of it to be

0:00:27.559,0:00:29.280
also the one that's doing the record keeping of it.

0:00:29.549,0:00:29.739
Again,

0:00:29.840,0:00:30.909
you're gonna hear this so many times

0:00:31.180,0:00:31.239
this

0:00:31.399,0:00:32.950
is just a very important one.

0:00:33.639,0:00:36.110
Another one is cash receipts are promptly deposited in the bank.

0:00:36.200,0:00:38.150
I don't want to have a lot of cash on hand

0:00:38.479,0:00:41.639
that opens the door for theft internally or theft externally

0:00:41.639,0:00:43.630
with people coming in and maybe robbing me or something.

0:00:44.209,0:00:45.319
When I have cash on hand,

0:00:45.400,0:00:47.520
I want to take it to the bank as quickly as I can.

0:00:47.599,0:00:47.930
Typically,

0:00:47.959,0:00:48.869
you're gonna have...

0:00:49.279,0:00:49.410
Well, some

0:00:49.410,0:00:50.889
businesses do it twice a day

0:00:50.919,0:00:52.590
or at least once a day.

0:00:53.020,0:00:53.090
And

0:00:53.139,0:00:53.950
then finally,

0:00:54.159,0:00:56.439
cash disbursements are made by check or EFT.

0:00:57.299,0:01:00.169
Why check or EFT? Because I have

0:01:00.180,0:01:02.020
a number that's associated with it.

0:01:02.099,0:01:03.759
I don't want to just give somebody cash

0:01:04.220,0:01:05.639
because if I give somebody cash,

0:01:05.739,0:01:07.849
they can dispute and it's my word over theirs.

0:01:08.059,0:01:09.220
I would much rather give them a check,

0:01:09.300,0:01:12.900
so I have that paper trail to go back to see who endorsed it,

0:01:13.059,0:01:13.410
who,

0:01:13.540,0:01:13.739
you know,

0:01:13.779,0:01:14.470
cashed it,

0:01:14.699,0:01:16.089
who was paid to and all that.

0:01:16.260,0:01:17.250
So, those are three

0:01:17.540,0:01:19.739
very important guidelines when it comes to

0:01:19.940,0:01:21.379
controlling your cash,

0:01:21.419,0:01:22.750
internal controls for cash.

0:01:23.169,0:01:23.739
Appreciate it.
