Question

Rafael is the accounts receivable clerk for a large company. On many occasions, customers come personally to the company to pay their accounts in cash. Rafael would sometimes borrow cash from the money he collected from customers for his own use with the intention of paying it back when he gets paid at the end of the week. Answer the questions below:

Answer 1

The internal controls of the company are weak.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rafael is borrowing cash from the money that he collects from customers on behalf of the company. He borrows the money and intends to pay back later to the company without informing anyone. This is weakness of internal control in the company system as there is no one who can check back whether Rafael has paid back money that he borrowed or not.
