On February 15, 2022, Kate Collins, owner of Kate’s Cards, asks you to investigate the cash han- dling activities in her business. She believes that a new employee might be stealing funds. “I have no proof,” she says, “but I’m fairly certain that the January 31, 2022, undeposited receipts amounted to more than $12,000, although the January 31 bank reconciliation prepared by the cashier (who works in the treasurer’s department) shows only $7,238.40.
