Solution
The duties that should be segregated for effective internal control over cash are:
- Opening the mail and deposit of checks in the bank
- Opening the mail and making a list of checks received
- Depositing checks into the bank and recording receipts in the accounting records
These tasks should be performed by different individuals to ensure that no single person has control over the entire cash handling process, which can help prevent fraud and errors.
