Question
Granada Theater is in the Greenbelt Mall. A cashiers booth is located near the entrance to the theater. Two cashiers are employed. One works from 1:00 to 5:00 P.M., the other from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. Each cashier is bonded. The cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the theater manager at the beginning of each cashiers shift. After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to a doorperson stationed at the entrance of the theater lobby some 60 feet from the cashiers booth. The doorperson tears the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer. The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the doorperson. At the end of each cashiers shift, the theater manager removes the ticket rolls from the machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault located in the mall. In addition, the manager sends copies of the deposit slip and the initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the companys accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located in the managers office.
Que: If the doorperson and cashier decided to collborate to misappropriate cash, what actions might they take?
Explanation / Answer
The easiest way would be for the doorperson to take some of the entry fees directly from the customer &admits the customer and keep that amount in his pocket, not tell the cashier about such pocketed money - and they split it later.
however, such a course of action will result in neither of them having a job because the business will fail by doing this kind of activity. That's why businesses use those nifty things called cameras nowadays so that such kind of fraud can not be committed by any one.
