...Controls for Outflows Biniyam Beyene, Christie Ferrell, Gabriel Mendoza and Paula Strahl ACC/544 May 2, 2015 Professor Tracie Youngblood Controls for Outflows Purchasing, accounts payable, cash disbursements, finance, investment, and payroll are key components to a successful and efficient business. Internal controls are needed in these outflow process to prevent fraud and theft within the business. The follow proposal will list the types of controls that are needed and reason for the controls. Finance One of the things that cannot be overlooked when it comes to controls is finance. Finance is the lifeblood of an organization. Without proper controls and functionality and control, a company’s finances can be out of distorted and may cause a business to possibly go under and close for business. One of the things that a business can do with controlling its finances is to have more than one person of management sign off on orders that have to do with financial transactions. An example of this would be a work or purchase order. This is something that should be controlled and documented by more than one person of management. The last thing that upper management wants to see is a mess of finances where one individual may end up taking too much control and could very well not be aware of the right amount of inventory they could be purchasing where there may not be a need. A second person can look over the order themselves and may have the ability to...

...What is the Fraud? The fraud consists of Equipment Overshipping and a kickback scheme. Who is involved? Charlie Thurgood and Ben Hill. How was it done? The first two months, April and May, TBC used Sports Chalet as its equipment vendor, however for the last two months, Ben Hill has diverted the business to Sports Equipment for no credible reason besides that Charlie is his friend, in the catalog there are no price differences between the two. Michele would submit the purchase order to Ben, so Ben had a chance to recreate purchase orders since they are left open and increase the orders. He would change the quantities ordered and told charlie to falsify the invoices. Charlie would also swap the shipping slips and the invoices so they would match TBC's records and alter the price on the invoice so the same total would be charged. Charlie and Ben could then fence the excess goods and divide the money. What is the economic impact of the fraud for the last 4 months? This fraud has cost the Tallahassee Beancounters $4,150 dollars since it began in June. How can this fraud be corrected? Ben had an overlapping authority when it came to choosing vendors, handling purchase orders, and paying vendors. By having access to all of these it was far too easy for him to use his position for fraud. Asking for the lost revenue back or possibly suing them for it. Sports Equipment could also be forced to deliver the amount of goods that appeared on the...

...Date: October 10, 2011 From: Rachael Melendez To: PwC Auditor Introduction BLUE Company operates under an enterprise planning system which allows an organization to automate and integrate its essential business processes. There are many weaknesses within BLUE’s expenditure process that lead to potential risks. The internal controls in this company are poor; for example, certain departments are authorized too much power, such as the purchasing clerk and the cash disbursement department. These duties need to be segregated among other departments. By pre-approving transactions, such as an approved vendor list, preventative controls can eliminate the ability to engage in fraudulent activities. Also, this company needs to engage in a system of checks and balances among each department to ensure validity, accuracy and completeness. Analysis The first step in the expenditure process may create issues. All the employees should not have access to create a purchase requisition. For example, how can an employee that works in the cash disbursement department know about the inventory levels and make a purchase requisition. BLUE Company is lacking an inventory control department; this needs to be incorporated. BLUE Company should limit the number of employees with the access to create a purchase requisition within the inventory control department. Unauthorized access exposes assets to misappropriation, damage, and theft. By incorporating access controls, BLUE Company may be able to...

... Implementing a new software system will benefit the Mobile Mammography Van greatly. This paper is intended to identify the process for selecting and acquiring an information system, explain how the organizations goals drive the selection process, and identify the roles each organization’s stakeholders play in the selection process. Selecting and Acquiring an Information System When an organization is selecting and acquiring a new information system there is a great deal of planning and steps they must take to implement the system properly. The first step is to establish a project steering committee. “This committee’s primary function is to plan, organize, coordinate, and manage all aspects of the acquisition process” (Wager, et. al., 2009, pg. 150). After the committee has been formed the project goals should be outlines along with the scope of the project and committee. Many questions will need to be discussed during this step. For example, the committee will need to determine the methods, processes, communication techniques, resources, and type of system that will be used through the selection and acquisition process. Once project goals and the scope of the project are defined the next step is to screen the marketplace and review vendor profiles. “Concurrently with the...

...roles of its stakeholders affect the selection process of an information system is vital to the success of that project. To ensure the execution of this task as well as its organization, efficiency, and accuracy, key leaders join creating a team of professionals ready for implementing change (Wager, Wickham Lee, & Glaser, 2009) . Learning how to select and acquire an information system, goals that should drive it and the roles of stakeholders is imperative to keep the project from failing. Selecting and Acquiring an Information System The process for selecting and acquiring an information system begins when the benefits of the current system no longer outweigh the cost to maintain it (Wager, Wickham Lee, & Glaser, 2009) . A general process most organizations use to select and acquire a new information system is the “systems development lifecycle” (SDLC). This system consists of four phases, which are planning and analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation (Wager, Wickham Lee, & Glaser, 2009) . Phase one in this process is the, planning, and analysis phase. The focus is to identify the organizations current information systems in an effort to define specific areas that may need improvement. The second step in this process is the, design phase. During this phase, the team decides the most appropriate route for establishing the project financially, settles on a specific information system, finalizes negotiations with vendors and considers any possible alternatives...

...Decisions of Uncertainty Introduction The Decision What is the probability of hiring a qualified employee upon selecting one from 52 applicants 26 are male and 26 are female? Probability Concepts The probability of the event –hiring a qualified male employee—is the proportion of times the company would expect to obtain a qualified male employee over the long run if the HR managers selected applicants many times. I will refer to each repetition of the situation – in this case the selection of a qualified male future employee—as a sampling experiment. The probability of the event is the proportion of times we would expect the event to occur in an infinitely long series of identical sampling experiments. The Outcome In this case, the probability of selecting a qualified male employee is 0 .50 or 50%. I arrived at this conclusion by using the knowledge that there are 52 applicants who areapplying for the open position, 26 are female and 26 are male. If the company assume that each of the 52 possibilities is equally likely, it is reasonable to expect that the company would select a male applicant that is qualified for the open position 0.50 of the time of a period of time ( 26/52 = ½ = 0.50 ). This illustrates the basic rule for obtaining probabilities in situations in which each of the possible outcomes is equally likely, the probability of the occurrence of an event is equal to the proportion of the possible outcomes characterized by the event. In the case of...
