...Purchase Order Financing Purchase order (PO) financing is a method for small organizations to get business loans and business credit in our gradually recuperating economy. This is similar to practicing factoring, where a business offers an invoice to a financing organization at a reasonable discount with a specific end goal to get its cash quicker. Purchase order financing makes this practice one step further. Purchase order financing organizations help growing businesses with their business financing in an attempt to guarantee their purchase orders from a buyer that is focused on acquiring an item that the organization is attempting to offer. The purchase order financing organization is useful and helpful to manufacturing organization on the grounds that manufacturing processes are paid for and also the transportation of finished goods from the processing plant. When the financing organization is paid, they take their cut and give whatever remains of the cash to their client. A major aspect that occasionally gives the economy a substantial pause about purchase order financing is that in most cases, the manufacturing facilities are abroad, many dominating China. The procedure to this process is costlier to the client that hires the factoring company. The premium rate, or cost of hiring the factoring company, is normally much higher than the minimal cost of a bank loan. However, the issue is that banks aren't loaning the amount of cash that small organizations need to...

...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 eliminate the misappropriation of assets. The purchase requisition should be prepared by an employee with access to inventory needs. Also, a purchase requisition should only be prepared when inventory drops under the predetermined reorder point. This point is set by each individual firm. This is to ensure that a firm is not purchasing unnecessary amount of inventory. After the purchase...

...4624 Assignment Tri 2 2014/2015 Case 1 The following describes the expenditure cycle for Mobius Sdn Bhd: Whenever inventory records in any departments are below its re-order level, a dedicated staff in each department will submit a purchase requisition to the purchasing department clerk. Upon receiving the documents, the clerk will prepare the purchase orders. He will send Copy 1 to the supplier, Copy 2 to the receiving department and Copy 3 to the accounts payable department. A few days later, the supplier ships the order and the goods arrive at the receiving department, together with a copy of Packing Slip. The receiving clerk reviews the purchase order (and the packing slip), inspects the goods and prints three copies of receiving report. The first copy of the report will be used to update the inventory records to reflect the receipt of goods, and later filed in the department. The second copy with the goods is sent to the warehouse and the third copy is sent to the accounts payable department. A day or two later, the accounts payable clerk receives a supplier’s invoice for the items shipped. The clerk assesses the receiving report and respective purchase order and later reconciles these documents with the supplier’s invoice.

Every Friday, a clerk from the accounting department will review the accounts payable and identify any items which are due for payment...

...CHAPTER 2 Overview of Business Processes SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Three different types of information exist in Table 2.1: 1. Internally-generated financial data 2. Internally-generated operating data 3. Externally-generated data. Internally generated financial data would be captured directly on source documents that are processed by the AIS and would be reported in traditional financial statements. Internally generated operating data can be captured in two ways. Some of this data (e.g., time worked) would be captured on source documents. Other data (e.g., employee skills) would traditionally be captured and stored by an information system that is not part of the AIS itself. The AIS, however, should be redesigned so as to integrate this data with the other transaction-oriented data. Some of the data (e.g., information on market share and customer satisfaction) must come from external sources. The AIS should be designed to store this data in an integrated manner with internally generated data. 2.2 The fact that all documents are prenumbered provides a means for accounting for their use and for detecting unrecorded transactions. Thus, a missing check indicates a meal for which a customer did not pay. Since each server has his or her own set of checks, it is also easy to identify which server was responsible for that customer. This policy may help to deter theft (e.g., serving friends and not requiring...

...Flowchart 1 is an overview of the Production Cycle. The Production Cycle is a recurring set of business activities and related data processing operations associated with the manufacture of products. In understanding the flowchart it is best to look at its relationships and interactions with the other cycles. Using a context diagram, the Production Cycle was shown as being linked to the Revenue Cycle by receiving customer orders and sales forecasts from the Revenue Cycle, and sending finished goods to the revenue cycle. It is linked to the Expenditure Cycle by sending purchase requisitions to order raw materials to the Expenditure Cycle, and the Expenditure Cycle then allocates overhead and raw materials costs to the Production Cycle. The Production Cycle is linked to the Human Resource/Payroll Cycle by requesting labor from HRP, which then allocates the labor costs to the Production Cycle. Management receives reports from the Production Cycle, which sends cost of goods produced information to the General Ledger and Reporting System. The overall performance of the Production Cycle can be improved through technology. The entire process should be integrated, using relational databases linked to internal and external sources as part of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) operation. CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) using robots and on-line terminals can rapidly implement production plans, reducing costs. Data about the costs of production...
