  5. Returned with the bank statement was a "debit memo" stating that a customer's check for $3,240 that had been deposited on May 23 had been returned because the customer's account was overdrawn.
  6. During a review of the checks that were returned with the bank statement, it was noted that the amount of check No. 681 was $680 but that in the company's records supporting the Cash account balance, the check had been erroneously recorded in the amount of $68.
