A customer is suing Ephiyu Company for P550,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2022 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its state-of-the-art stores in Makati. The child was hurt, feeling broken down, and feeling the pain from the inside and out, when tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up.

difference. In the check register, next to the number of each check she had deposited in her per-sonal bank account, she would write the word “void,” making it appear as though the check had
been destroyed. This process went undetected for nearly five years.a. What controls must have been lacking at White Electric Supply to…
