These include sales staff, shelf Stockers, farm laborers, shift supervisors, and clerical staff. Recently, Smith has noticed a decline in profits and sales, while his purchases of products for resale have continued to rise. Although the company does not prepare audited financial statements, Robert Smith has commissioned your public accounting firm to assess his companys sales procedures and internal controls. Smiths market expenditure cycle procedures are described below. Expenditure Cycle The expenditure cycle begins in the warehouse adjacent to the market, where Smiths keeps its inventory of nonperishable goods such as canned goods and paper products. The company also maintains a one-day inventory of produce and other perishable products in the warehouse so clerks can quickly restock the shelves when necessary. At close of business each evening, the warehouse clerk reviews the market shelves for items that need to be replenished. The clerk restocks the shelves and adjusts the digital stock records accordingly from the warehouse PC. At this time, the clerk takes note of what needs to be reordered from the suppliers and prints purchase orders from the PC. Depending upon the nature of the product and urgency of the need, the clerk either mails the purchase order to the supplier or orders by phone. Phone orders are followed up by faxing the purchase order to the supplier. When the goods arrive from the vendor, the warehouse clerk reviews the packing slip, restocks the warehouse shelves, and updates the stock records from the PC. At the end of the day the clerk prepares a hard-copy purchases summary from the PC and sends it to the treasury clerk for posting to general ledger. The vendors invoice is sent to the accounting clerk. She examines it for correctness and files it in a temporary file until it is due to be paid. The clerk reviews the temporary file daily, looking for invoices to be paid. Using the accounting department PC, the clerk prints a check and records it in the digital check register. She then files the invoice and mails the check to the supplier. At the end of the day she prints a hard-copy journal voucher from the PC, which summarizes the days cash disbursements, and sends it to the treasury clerk for posting to the general ledger. Using the department PC, the treasury clerk posts the journal voucher and purchases summary information to the appropriate GL accounts. Required a. Create a data flow diagram of the current system. b. Create a system flowchart of the current system. c. Analyze the physical internal control weaknesses in the system. Model your response according to the six categories of physical control activities specified in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) internal control model. d. Describe the IT controls that should be in place in this system.arrow_forwardThe Volvo Company is an established American multinational automaker that has its main headquarters in Detroit, USA. • It was founded by Henry Michigan and incorporated on June 16, 1919 and had ever since been selling automobiles and commercial vehicles under the Volvo brand to the world. • The UAE has been one of Volvo's most loyal customers since the 1980's. • You work as a financial analyst and have recently been placed onto an assignment with the Volvo Company. • According to the most recent financial statements, the Volvo Company has reported a net loss of $1,800.

Required information Don Carson and two colleagues are considering opening a law office in a large metropolitan area to make inexpensive legal services available to people who cannot otherwise afford these services. They intend to provide easy access for their clients by having the office open 360 days per year, 16 hours each day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. A lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, and clerk-receptionist would staff the office for each of the two 8-hour shifts. To determine the feasibility of the project, Don hired a marketing consultant to assist with market projections. The consultant's results show that if the firm spends $538,000 on advertising the first year, the number of new clients expected each day would have the following probability distribution: Number of New Clients per Day 10 20 40 60 Probability 0.10 0.10 0.20 0.60 Don and his associates believe these numbers to be reasonable and are prepared to spend the $538,000 on advertising.
