00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:00.639
All right,

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

00:00:04.239 --> 00:00:04.659
OK.

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:05.119
There's 

00:00:05.239 --> 00:00:06.880
some pretty straightforward ones.

00:00:07.409 --> 00:00:07.650
Effective

00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:08.630
internal control

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:09.199
will

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:10.479
protect cash,

00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:11.909
and they should meet three guidelines,

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:12.340
OK?

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:13.539
These are what the,

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:15.390
what you should follow when you're

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:15.750
creating

00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:18.280
examples of internal controls just specifically for cash.

00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.110
One is I want to handle cash or the handling of cash

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.559
is separate from the recordkeeping.

00:00:22.639 --> 00:00:22.959
Again,

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

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

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

00:00:29.549 --> 00:00:29.739
Again,

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:30.909
you're gonna hear this so many times

00:00:31.180 --> 00:00:31.239
this 

00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:32.950
is just a very important one.

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

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

00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.639
that opens the door for theft internally or theft externally

00:00:41.639 --> 00:00:43.630
with people coming in and maybe robbing me or something.

00:00:44.209 --> 00:00:45.319
When I have cash on hand,

00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:47.520
I want to take it to the bank as quickly as I can.

00:00:47.599 --> 00:00:47.930
Typically,

00:00:47.959 --> 00:00:48.869
you're gonna have...

00:00:49.279 --> 00:00:49.410
Well, some 

00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:50.889
businesses do it twice a day

00:00:50.919 --> 00:00:52.590
or at least once a day.

00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:53.090
And 

00:00:53.139 --> 00:00:53.950
then finally,

00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.439
cash disbursements are made by check or EFT.

00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.169
Why check or EFT? Because I have

00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:02.020
a number that's associated with it.

00:01:02.099 --> 00:01:03.759
I don't want to just give somebody cash

00:01:04.220 --> 00:01:05.639
because if I give somebody cash,

00:01:05.739 --> 00:01:07.849
they can dispute and it's my word over theirs.

00:01:08.059 --> 00:01:09.220
I would much rather give them a check,

00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:12.900
so I have that paper trail to go back to see who endorsed it,

00:01:13.059 --> 00:01:13.410
who,

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:13.739
you know,

00:01:13.779 --> 00:01:14.470
cashed it,

00:01:14.699 --> 00:01:16.089
who was paid to and all that.

00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:17.250
So, those are three

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:19.739
very important guidelines when it comes to

00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:21.379
controlling your cash,

00:01:21.419 --> 00:01:22.750
internal controls for cash.

00:01:23.169 --> 00:01:23.739
Appreciate it.
