a. I Disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because she has not followed the internal control principle of safeguarding of assets. Stealing is a serious issue. An employee who can justify taking a box of tea bags can probably justify “borrowing” cash from the cash register.
b. I Agree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has followed the internal control principle of assignment of responsibility by making one employee responsible for the cash drawer and followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties (preparing the orders) from the accounting (taking orders and payments).

Also, Faith’s standard of no mistakes may encourage the cashiers to overcharge a few customers in order to cover any possible shortages in the cash drawer.
