Rationale for Correct Answer: Skimming involves theft of cash before it is recorded in the books. Examining journal entries for false credits to inventory would detect inventory fraud, not skimming. Therefore, B is not useful for detecting skimming.
Analysis of Incorrect Options:
A – Confirming customer balances can reveal payments that were never posted because they were skimmed.
C – Physical counts may expose discrepancies caused by skimming disguised as inventory shortages.
D – Comparing register totals to actual cash can reveal missing amounts due to skimming.
Key Concept: Skimming detection focuses on reconciling recorded vs. unrecorded cash.
