Controlling cash in casinos
Article Abstract:
The casino industry is compelled to implement special safeguards to prevent theft because it deals primarily in cash transactions. As a result, it has become the benchmark in the establishment of control standards for other cash basis industries. The basic elements of control for the gaming industry are physical controls, human controls and some conventional document controls. Physical controls include lock boxes, safes, cashiers' cages, keys, drop boxes and count rooms. People controls, on the other hand, involve the use of two or more people in a transaction and a separation of their duties. These procedures are usually observed in the cashier's cage, table areas and count room. Lastly, paper controls provide a trail of documentary evidence that are testable for compliance through inspection of transaction documents and records as well as signatures and stamps.

Article Abstract:
A case study addressing the problem of analyzing special events in a casino environment is presented. In this hypothetical case, TallTree Hotel Casino is trying to examine the contribution of sponsored special events and promotions in overall efforts to increase the casino's revenues. Based on this case, accounting students who wish to enter the Institute of Management Accountants's 1993 Student Case Competition are invited to evaluate a hypothetical casino's performance reporting system. In addition, students are asked to prepare an alternative reporting system that the casino can use in assessing the special events it sponsors. The competition is open to accounting students until Mar 15, 1993.
