Typical Problem:
Jabu Dube Is the warehouse manager for a large office supply wholesaler. Dube receives two copies of the customer sales order from the sale department. He picks the goods from the shelves and sends them and one copy of the sales order to the shipping department. He then files the second copy in a temporary file. At the end of the day, he retrieves the sales orders from the temporary file and updates the inventory subsidiary ledger from a terminal in his office. At that time, he identifies items that have fallen to low levels, select a supplier, and prepares three copies of a purchase order. One copy is sent to the supplier, one is sent to the AP clerk, and one is filed in the warehouse. When the goods arrive from the supplier, he reviews the attached packing slip, counts and inspects the goods, places them on the shelves, and updates the inventory ledger to reflect the receipt. He then prepares a receiving report and sends it to AP department.

Questions: Draw SFC Identify any control problems What sorts of fraud are possible in this
system
17
18
Control Problems:Control Activity Example
Authorization general (purchase of inventory when level drops) or specific (credit approval beyond normal limit)
Segregation of functions separate authorization from processing separate custody of assets from record keeping
Supervision required when separation of duties is not possible, such as opening the mail (cash receipts)
Accounting records maintain an adequate audit trail
Access controls maintain physical security
Independent verification bank reconciliation, physical inventory count
19
Control problems: The following segregation of functions
problems exist: Dube is the warehouse manager (asset custody)
and is responsible for updating the inventory subsidiary ledger (record keeping).
Dube determines what should be ordered (authorization) and the places the order (transaction processing).
20
Fraud: Kickback fraud—Since Dube selects the supplier and
also places the order, he could order inventory that is not needed or that is above market price from a supplier with whom he has a personal fraudulent arrangement. In exchange, the supplier pays a kickback to the warehouse manager.
Vendor fraud—Dube authorizes, orders, and receives the goods; he could establish himself as a vendor and process fraudulent transactions.
21
Fraud: Theft of inventory—Dube can simply remove
the assets from the warehouse, sell them, and adjust the inventory records. A reconciliation between the physical inventory on hand and the records would indicate no discrepancies
