As a manager you gave the responsibly of billing, cash collection, reconciling the bank statement and keeping the petty cash fund to a long time trusted employee. You just received a notice from the bank that your checking account is overdrawn and you ask this long time employee about the notice. The employee says it must just be a bank error. Find an article in the KU library that discusses a manager's role in internal controls. Do you think you have implemented proper internal controls, why or why not and what if anything would you change?
