<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 4624099, member: 100459&quot;]As a new CPA, I was assigned to watching the tellers to document their procedures.&nbsp; The first day, I watched a teller &quot;cash out&quot; (meaning to balance her drawer. I noticed that she got her purse and took out some money and put it in her drawer so it would balance.&nbsp; The next day, she took out some money from her drawer and put it in her purse. (The second day, the manager was watching also.)&nbsp; The manager asked that I accompany him into his office with the teller.&nbsp; He asked me to explain to him and the teller what I saw.&nbsp; I was astounded with her response.&nbsp; She told me that the banks policy is if the drawer is out of balance, tellers are to report it to the manager, so, when she was short, she took money out of her purse and put it in her drawer and the second day, she was over, so she took money out of her drawer and put it in her purse.&nbsp; She evidently did not know why the policy was set.&nbsp; Anyway, she was terminated immediately.&nbsp; The manager told me that a teller that would take a penny, might take a $20 bill and that the money did not belong to the bank, it was the customer&#039;s money.&nbsp; After 30 plus years as a CPA, I have stories to fill a book about crooked people.&nbsp; As a supervisor told me, &quot;People are only as honest as they have to be.&quot;)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
