Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

To come in any conclusion first do the following calculations

Updated cash book

Closing Balance as per Gabe = $3,775

Less: Outstanding cheque -$800

Add: Cheque Deposited $250

Updated closing balance is $3,225

Bank reconcilliation statement

Closing balance as per Bank  $3450

Less: NSF check from the customer -$100

Less: Service Charges -$50

Add: Interest earned $25

Reconciled Balance as per Bank $3,325

As from the above calculations we can see that there is a difference of $100 so it is cleared that the employee has stolen from the company
