Question

Steve Ramos owns apartment buildings in Baguio City, and Tagaytay City. Each property has a manager who collects rent, arranges for repairs, and runs advertisements in the local newspaper. The property managers transfer cash to Ramos monthly and prepare their own bank reconciliations. The manager in Baguio City has been stealing large sums of money. To cover the theft, he understates the amount of the outstanding checks on the monthly bank reconciliation. As a result, each monthly bank reconciliation appears to balance. However, the balance sheet reports more cash than Ramos actually has in the bank. In negotiating the sale of the Baguio City property, Ramos is showing the balance sheet to prospective investors.
