- Read the following scenario about Strang Corporation and identify the substantive procedures that the CPA (Elaine Stanley) should perform to determine whether lapping exists. Do not discuss deficiencies in the system of internal control. During the year, Strang Corporation began to encounter cash flow difficulties, and a cursory review by management revealed receivable collection problems.
