...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...

...Servicing the vendor is an important function to maintain a positive relationship with the customer. The goal is to make sure we qualify and quantify all issues with the vendors. As the owner of a company that manufactures an array of components for computers, we are always prepared to tackle quality assurance issues that may arise. Chaffee’s 5-step process to problem solving is an approach we use in our action plan to address these critical issues, and provide a solution that will benefit the vendor and the overall operation of the business. To paint a picture of how this process actually works, below are the steps recently used to solve a persistent quality issue we had with on-off switches and other servo mechanisms that failed. Step 1 of the process is to identify the problem. Recently there have been persistent quality issues with on-off switches and other servo mechanism that consistently failed before they should. It is imperative to identify the issue to help get a clear understanding of what exactly went wrong. Part of this step requires feedback from the vendor; this allows for more in depth information used to strategize how to improve the inconsistency with the quality issues. Feedback from the vendor is critical because they work hands on with the product daily. Step 2 and 3 is to identify the alternatives, and evaluate the effectiveness of each alternative. Total Quality Management (TQM) is one approach considered to improve the efficiency and effectiveness...

...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...

...My organization, EIS (Enterprise Information Solutions), GBS (Global Business Services) at MWV has many different vendors. MWV has many different vendors and a Global Supply Chain organization to source and support. A quick Google search should be enough to convince anyone that there many, if not a vast array, of vendor selection options out there to choose from. If you begin to focus on “current” literature you can observe that the selection techniques have sped along like Moore’s law as we hurtle into this future where ideas and projects have a shelf life and have to happen very quickly, often as a matter of survival. There is everything from simple, agile approaches to very complex mathematical and computer modeling solutions that attempt to simplify Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). The longer you look, the more you begin to realize just how complicated this subject is. MWV didn’t get all it’s vendors the same way. Vendors were evaluated in different ways, some more some less. Many different approaches or methodologies were used to evaluate the criteria. Different tools were also used. There are many different criteria that were considered or ignored. It seems like the list of criteria just grows and grows over time. Dickson (23 criterion) and Weber (10 criterion) and then Zhang introduced and summarized supplier selection criteria from publication reviews starting in 1966. .

...andidates were treated to “an excellent choice of questions on a range of interesting and relevant subjects”, she said. While both reading comprehensions were quite challenging, good students would have found the section manageable, while there was “an excellent range of topics” in the productive writing section, said Ms Gavenda Among the challenges in the comprehension section, was words such as ‘erecting’ and ‘dismantling’ a tent in journalistic passage about a family circus business. She said these words may have caused slight confusion for students. But, otherwise, the style of questions was very similar to previous papers, The literary passage, about a father being very strict with his daughters, would have demanded very close reading , while some of the words in the questions such as ‘to arouse suspicion’ might have been difficult for weaker students, she said. In the productive writing section, Ms Gavenda said while Question 1, about whether parents in Ireland give too much freedom to their children. was “nice, it was quite broad, so students would need to have been careful with how they structured their piece”. She thought the subject of the diary question. tattoos was “very accessible”, while the email was one of the easier questions.

...Who Are the ERP Vendors? Depending on who you talk to, the primary ERP vendors are referred to as BOPSE (BAAN, Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, and J.D. Edwards). Other ERP firms include (but are not limited to) Great Plains, Lawson, Platinum, QAD, and Ross and Solomon (see e.g. Keeling 1996; Kersnar and May 1999). For additional information, see PricewaterhouseCoopers (1998). BAAN (www.baan.com) BAAN was founded in the Netherlands in 1978. BAAN's ERP market share is roughly 5% (Stein 1997), and 1998 revenues were roughly $750 million (Bylinsky 1999). BAAN has approximately 3,000 clients in 5,000 sites world-wide. BAAN was thrust into the national ERP software spotlight when they won the Boeing ERP engagement in 1994. The founders recently left BAAN, in part because of irregularities in financial reporting that led to inflated sales figures (Maremont and Rose 1998). Oracle (www.oracle.com) Oracle is the second-largest supplier of software in the world. However, they are perhaps best known for their database system, not their ERP applications. Oracle was founded in 1977 in the United States. Oracle's applications were developed for the U.S. market in 1989 and for the international market in 1993. In 1997, Oracle announced that they were going to market to specific industries tries (Greenberg 1997a) and improve the international characteristics of their software (Greenberg 1997b). In 1997, Oracle's market share was reportedly 10% of the ERP market (see Herrera 1999), and 1998...

...Review Of The Tenor Saxophone You might want to buy a new saxophone for a number of reasons. It's either you want to buy a great starter’s model for your personal use, a student, or a family member, you’ve been a professional player and are considering an upgrade or you may also be a tenor sax or alto player seeking to widen your skills with a middle sax-family instrument. Irrespective of your motives, the selection process for purchasing a new sax can be quite tasking. This review will discuss the various tenor saxophones, and will definitely help you find the type that best meets your needs. If you are a lover of R&B, soul, reggae, salsa, pop, and of course, jazz; then you’d know that tenor saxophones play an important role in the making of music. They are equally an essential part of the wind section of orchestras and marching bands remain the preferred instruments for aspiring basic, high school and tertiary musicians. What is tenor saxophone? The tenor saxophone is a group of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s and belongs to the medium-sized member of the saxophone family. The tenor saxophone uses a larger ligature, mouthpiece, and reed than the alto and soprano saxophones. It’s easily distinguished by the bend in its neck or its crook near the mouthpiece. When buying tenor saxophones, it’s important to take some factors into consideration. Body Construction All saxophones possess either ribbed or non-ribbed construction, with the modern ones being ribbed...
