SMITHS MARKET (SMALL BUSINESS ACCOUNTING SYSTEM) In 1989, Robert Smith opened a small fruit and vegetable market in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Originally, Smith sold only produce grown on his family farm and orchard. As the markets popularity grew, however, he added bread, canned goods, fresh meats, and a limited supply of frozen goods. Today Smiths Market is a full-range farmers market with a strong local customer base. Indeed, the markets reputation for low prices and high quality draws customers from other Pennsylvania cities and even from the neighboring state of New Jersey. Currently Smiths has 40 employees. 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.

Responsibility in a restaurant. Paula Beane owns a restaurant franchise that is part of a chain of “southern homestyle” restaurants. One of the chain’s popular breakfast items is biscuits and gravy. Central Warehouse makes and freezes the biscuit dough, which it then sells to the franchise stores where it is thawed and baked in the individual stores by the cook.

Paula’s franchise cook, Betty Baker, sends one of the kitchen helpers to the local grocery store to buy refrigerated ready-to-bake biscuits.
