Jimmy Pace has recently been hired as the manager of Jittery Jon’s Coffee Shop. Jittery Jon’s Coffee Shop is a national chain of franchised coffee shops. During his first month as store manager, Jimmy encountered the following internal control situations:
a. Jittery Jon’s Coffee Shop has one cash register. Prior to Jimmy’s joining the coffee shop, each employee working on a shift would take a customer order, accept payment, and then prepare the order.

Now, the owners of Boxes-and-Stuff, Jerome and Natalia, need to find another accounting manager—fast. But as they hurry to fill the position, they don’t want to select a dishonest or incompetent employee. They need to be cautious. Fortunately, the police chief found the embezzled funds in a bank account set up by the former employee and authorized the return of the money. This means that Boxes-and-Stuff will not lose the embezzled amount, after all. However, Jerome and Natalia are already thinking of ways to protect their company from other risks. They want to be prepared for risky situations in the future. 1. Which risks do you think Boxes-and-Stuff might face? 2. How do you think the company should handle the risks you’ve identified?arrow_forward
