Unit 2 Discussion board

Minimum Weekly DB Expectations

· Post an original and thoughtful  Main Post to the DB prompt.

· The first contribution ( Main Post or Response Post) must be posted before midnight (Central time) on Friday of each week.

· Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week.

More on DBs

At the end of each unit, DB participation is assessed based on level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. DBs allow learners to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB are accepted after the end of the unit. Learners must demonstrate an appropriate depth of understanding of course content to receive credit for having submitted substantive posts. Typically, this is achieved with 3–4 strong paragraphs for Main Posts and 2–3 strong paragraphs for Response Posts.

Assignment Details

As a new manager, you have been reviewing the internal control structure of the cashier’s office. The cashier’s office is small with four employees. The internal control review indicates that one employee (Employee #1) performs the majority of the office's duties, such as accepting cash payments, making deposits, bank reconciliation, and so on.

Based on the internal control review, discuss a more robust internal control structure using segregation of duties.

Discuss with your classmates any additional measures inside and outside of the cashier’s office that could be put in place to increase security and accountability.

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board, and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
