BUCKHURST: Can you remember any occasion in the last few months when you
have not gone?
KENNET: Er... I was away for my holidays in the summer. I think that was the only
time I didn't go.
BUCKHURST: Yes, that was in August, wasn't it? Well, this figure he's querying
was in October... and there was another occasion in... in... er...June.
KENNET: What occasion do you mean? What are you referring to?
BUCKHURST: The auditor has found that on these two occasions more was drawn
out from the bank than was paid in. Can you explain the reason for that?
KENNET: Er... I'm sure I don't know why the amounts should be different. They
should be exactly the same- Can I look at the bank statements?
BUCKHURST: Certainly. Here they are.
KENNET: Thank you.
BUCKHURST: And here are the two paying-in vouchers for the two dates; both in
your handwriting, I think?
KENNET: Yes... but I don't understand...
BUCKHURST: The withdrawal on the bank statement here must be the cash for the
staff, because on both days it is the only amount drawn. You don't think you could
somehow have lost one of the cheques you were paying in?
KENNET: Look, I'm sorry, Mr. Buckhurst. I can explain it. I really was going to pay
it back later. You see I... my mother was ill and...
BUCKHURST: Why didn't you come and ask me for help if you were in trouble? Or
you could have seen the Personnel Manager. We might have arranged for you to draw
your pay in advance. But this--- this is stealing. KENNET: I didn't mean to steal it. I
was going to pay it back. I intended to pay it back, I didn't mean to be dishonest,
really I didn't...
(Later.)
BUCKHURST: Well, Mr. Brent, when do you think you'll be finished?
BRENT: Oh, I think I should be through by the end of the month. But now I've seen
the extent of the work, I'll bring in two of the others to help me.
BUCKHURST: No more problems so far?
BRENT: No, I don't think so. It all seems to be in order,
BUCKHURST: Thanks- By the way, that clerk was responsible.
BRENT: Oh dear! Poor fellow. You'll have to dismiss him, I suppose.
BUCKHURST: Yes, we may have to. It's a pity. He works hard and he's been
satisfactory in every way, apart from this.
BRENT: Well, I'm sorry to have been the cause of such an unhappy discovery.
BUCKHURST: We're very glad you did discover it. You have probably saved the
company from an even bigger loss.
