Fraud, Internal Control, and Cash Fraud and Internal Control Cash Controls Control Features: Use of a Bank Reporting Cash Fraud The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Internal control Principles of internal control Limitations Cash receipts controls Cash disbursements controls Making deposits Writing checks Bank statements Reconciling the bank account Electronic funds transfer (EFT) system Cash equivalents Restricted cash Compensating balances Service Cost - Actuaries compute service cost as the present value of the new benefits earned by employees during the year. Future salary levels considered in calculation. Interest on Liability - Interest accrues each year on the PBO just as it does on any discounted debt. Actual Return on Plan Assets - Increase in pension funds from interest, dividends, and realized and unrealized changes in the fair market value of the plan assets. Amortization of Unrecognized Prior Service Cost - The cost of providing retroactive benefits is allocated to pension expense in the future, specifically to the remaining service-years of the affected employees. Gain or Loss - Volatility in pension expense can be caused by sudden and large changes in the market value of plan assets and by changes in the projected benefit obligation. Two items comprise the gain or loss: difference between the actual return and the expected return on plan assets and, amortization of the unrecognized net gain or loss from previous periods
