Distinguish between skimming and cash larceny. Give an example of each


Skimming involves stealing cash from an organization before it is recorded on the organization's books and records. One example of skimming is an employee who accepts payment from a customer but does not record the sale. Another example is mail room fraud in which an employee opening the mail steals a customer's check and destroys the associated remittance advice.

Cash larceny involves schemes in which cash receipts are stolen from an organization after they have been recorded in the organization's books and records. An example of this is lapping, in which the cash receipts clerk first steals and cashes a check from Customer A. To conceal the accounting imbalance caused by the loss of the asset, Customer A's account is not credited. Later (the next billing period), the employee uses a check received from Customer B and applies it to Customer A's account. Funds received in the next period from Customer C are then applied to the account of Customer B, and so on.
