Answer:

Since cash is the most liquid of all assets, a business cannot survive and prosper if it does not have adequate control over its cash.  Cash is the asset that has the greatest chance of “going missing” and this is why we must ensure that we have strong internal controls build around the cash process.  Since many business transactions involve cash, it is a vital factor in the operation of a business. Of all the company’s assets, cash is the most easily mishandled either through theft or carelessness. To control and manage its cash, a company should:

Account for all cash transactions accurately so that correct information is available regarding cash flows and balances.
