I have a number of points related to the auditing procedures I applied to Keystones cash accounts as follows:

Deposit in Transit (Exhibit 4): The deposit in transit seems properly handled on the bank reconciliation (Exhibit 2) with a debit to cash. (Callout #4)

Question:

"The deposit in transit seems properly handled on the bank reconciliation (Exhibit 2) with a debit to cash."

Answer options:

Retain the original text.

Delete entire point 4.

Replace with The deposit in transit is likely to be an interbank transfer between the general account and the special account.

Replace with The deposit in transit should be included on the bank transfer schedule.

Replace with The deposit in transit seems to have taken too long to reach the bank; we should investigate this further.
