Answer to Problem 3P
Hence, the control plan matches the given scenario is “(F)”
Explanation of Solution
Given scenario:
At Company C, the clerks would prepare prenumbered general ledger voucher documents. There are three division in the firm and clerks from each division would work on it. The prepared voucher will be sent to the data entry clerk of each office. It will be recorded in the computer and the controller of the firm recently found the non-recorded vouchers and the voucher that was recorded twice.
Determine the control plan for the given scenario:
Cumulative sequence checks help to record the vouchers in the company. As there will be cumulative check, no vouchers can be left unrecorded.

- The following is a list of six control plans from this chapter, and these are followed by a list of five definitions or descriptions of control plans. Match the five definitions or descriptions with a control plan that best matches the definition. Because there are six control plans, you should have one letter left over. Control Plans A. Limit checks B. Tickler files C. Public key cryptography D. Compare input data with master data E. One-for-one checking F. Manual reconciliation of batch totals (hash totals) Definitions or Descriptions 1. Determines if a customer number has been input correctly. 2. Ensures that transmitted messages can be read only by authorized receivers. 3. A control plan that confirms a value that was entered is within a valid range. 4. An area (electronic or manual) where documents or other items are stored that need follow-up. 5. Used to detect changes in batches of events to ensure the validity, completeness, and accuracy of the batch.arrow_forwardListed here are 20 control plans discussed in the chapter. On the blank line to the left of each control plan, insert a P (preventive), D (detective), or C (corrective) to classify that control most accurately.
