Answer: Separation of duties.

Explanation:

This question might have options that were not posted along with it however, I shall give the most likely answer.

Separation of duties is an accounting method that aims to prevent unethical accounting practices such as fraud. It is simply done by assigning to different people, various roles in the accounting process.

In the above scenario, sales clerks ring up the sales and receive cash and take it to the cashier, while the shift supervisor takes the cash register tapes to the accounting department.
