You are a CPA and have been asked to volunteer a few hours of your time to review the accounting records and procedures of a small nonprofit, charitable organization with an annual budget just under $5 million. During your review, you are surprised to find accounting records indicating that the CFO initiated and approved three non-payroll checks totaling $10,500 made out to one of the organization's employees.
