Suggest two distinct pieces of information, which if available, would help us, the case analysts, draw more definitive conclusions about whether launching Plain Gold Jewelry at the end of the first year was a good decision, than I have been able to do in my presentation.

The risk-assessment process in a small entity is more structured than in a large one because of the nature of some of the internal control components in a small entity. An owner-manager of a small entity will not normally learn about risks arising from external factors through direct contact with customers, suppliers, and other outsiders, whereas in large entities this process is part of the entity's primary way of identifying new risk.
