PT. Alakishia has been operating in Jakarta for more than 10 years. Aries is one of the employees who is responsible for recording transactions in the purchasing department when ordering raw materials from suppliers. Once, Wilson as the party who made the payments and received the invoices, resigned from the office, so for the moment everything was in Aries' charge. Jenni as COO of PT. Alakitashia really trusts Aries because by seeing the contribution of Aries for a long time, it is also due to the close friendship between them, thus leaving the work entirely and the internal control to Aries itself. This has caused a lack of segregation of duties, so that since it was fully managed by Aries, the number of purchases has increased and it can be seen how the expenses are higher than before, so it is feared that fraud could occur. In addition, Aries has also collaborated with all suppliers and the production department to harmonize the transaction record in the form of the number of units of goods purchased and produced along with the cost price charged to support the data presented by him in order to hide his movements. As a professional internal auditor, you are asked to audit the performance of the purchasing department that is suspected to be a party that has the potential to commit fraud, so you are asked to create a procedure of comprehensive audits in order to present the information in transparency and accountability to all stakeholders. Make an audit plan related to the actions you can take to make the audit activity a success. Write down what is the difference between internal audit and external audit in terms of planning and the results provided.
The Effect Of Prepaid Taxes On Assets And Liabilities
Many businesses estimate tax liability and make payments throughout the year (often quarterly). When a company overestimates its tax liability, this results in the business paying a prepaid tax. Prepaid taxes will be reversed within one year but can result in prepaid assets and liabilities.
Final Accounts
Financial accounting is one of the branches of accounting in which the transactions arising in the business over a particular period are recorded.
Ledger Posting
A ledger is an account that provides information on all the transactions that have taken place during a particular period. It is also known as General Ledger. For example, your bank account statement is a general ledger that gives information about the amount paid/debited or received/ credited from your bank account over some time.
Trial Balance and Final Accounts
In accounting we start with recording transaction with journal entries then we make separate ledger account for each type of transaction. It is very necessary to check and verify that the transaction transferred to ledgers from the journal are accurately recorded or not. Trial balance helps in this. Trial balance helps to check the accuracy of posting the ledger accounts. It helps the accountant to assist in preparing final accounts. It also helps the accountant to check whether all the debits and credits of items are recorded and posted accurately. Like in a balance sheet debit and credit side should be equal, similarly in trial balance debit balance and credit balance should tally.
Adjustment Entries
At the end of every accounting period Adjustment Entries are made in order to adjust the accounts precisely replicate the expenses and revenue of the current period. It is also known as end of period adjustment. It can also be referred as financial reporting that corrects the errors made previously in the accounting period. The basic characteristics of every adjustment entry is that it affects at least one real account and one nominal account.
