indicated that the payroll account had a P1,000 general ledger and bank balance with no-in transit or
outstanding items, and the general bank account had a P12,405 general ledger balance with checks
outstanding aggregating P918 (No. 1202 for P575 and No. 1205 for P343) and undeposited collection
of P492.

Metro Bank deposit slip for that amount dated December 29, 2015 were in the Company’s safe and that
no cash was in transit to the bank at that time, Your examination of the general account check book
revealed check No. 1216 to be the first unused check.

chronological sequence. The ledger card for the general bank account is reproduced below.
