In a two (2) page response explain which of these totals/counts would be useful in preventing or detecting IT system input and processing errors or fraud described as follows: A payroll clerk accidentally entered the same time card twice. The accounts payable department overlooked an invoice and did not enter it into the system because it was stuck to another invoice. A systems analyst was conducting payroll fraud by electronically adding to his “hours worked” field during the payroll computer run. To create a fictitious employee, a payroll clerk removed a time card for a recently terminated employee and inserted a new time card with the same hours worked.arrow_forwardThe following audit procedures are included in the auditprogram because of heightened risks of material misstatements due to fraud.1. Use audit software to search cash disbursement master files for missing check numbers.2. Search the accounts receivable master file for account balances with missing orunusual customer numbers (e.g., “99999”).3. Use audit software to create a list of all credits to the repair and maintenanceexpense account for follow-up testing.4. Engage an actuarial specialist to examine management’s assumptions about averagelength of employment and average life expectancy of retirees used in pension accounting decisions.5.

- 1. For each occurrence below identify the policy(ies), practice(s), or procedure(s) that would be most effective in addressing the error or irregularity. For each control you identify, indicate (1) if it is a preventive, detective, or corrective control, and (2) which of the four internal control objectives is addressed.a. A computer hardware component malfunctions during a processing run, causing many of the accounts receivable records to be lost. b. A five-minute power failure causes the computer system to cease functioning, thus resulting in the loss of data being transmitted from several terminals. c. During a violent electrical storm, an employee was keying data at one of the computers in the order entry department. After about an hour of data entry, lightning caused a company-wide power failure. When power was restored, the employee had to re-key all the data from scratch. d.

Firstly, there was a lack of proper segregation of duties between the compliance and business functions, due to conflicting responsibilities of certain compliance personnel. For instance, MegaNew York’s BSA/AML officer was also operations manager of the Business Division. DFS further found fault in Mega-New York’s transaction monitoring systems and policies. Compliance staff failed to regularly review “surveillance monitoring filter criteria designed to detect suspicious transactions”. Various documents were also not translated from Chinese to English, impeding effective checks and investigations by regulators. In addition to these structural deficiencies, the staff at Mega-New York lacked proper knowledge and training with regards to US regulatory requirements. These included executive staff such as the BSA/AML Officer and the Chief Compliance Officer. SUSPICIOUS…arrow_forwardThe following internal controls were identified by the auditor while gaining an understanding of internal control for the sales cycle. Access to the customer master file is restricted to authorized personnel. Customers are added to the master file only after appropriate approval, including adequate background and credit checks. Sales are made only to approved customers. The computer system rejects orders if the customer number is invalid or the order exceeds the customer’s approved credit limit. The computer matches the products and quantities on the customer order, shipping document, and sales invoice and generates an exception report of differences for follow-up in the accounting department. The computer generates a daily list of unmatched shipping documents. The sales clerk follows up on each exception and electronically signs the report when they are resolved. Invoice prices are obtained from the price master file. Any changes to the standard prices on an invoice must be…arrow_forward
