was done by each of the teams. The teams have listed the various internal control
activities.
Team A
Internal control activities identified over purchase, receipt, storage and the issue of
inventory items are as follows:
a) Raw materials, consisting mainly of high-value electronic items, are kept in a
store (raw material store), which is safeguarded against theft and damage. A
supervisor and four other storemen are employed in this store. They all
received proper training and are competent enough to perform their duties.
One of the storemen issues goods to production based on written or verbal
requests. (2)
b) Perpetual inventory records are not maintained. To compensate for this
limitation, the storemen perform a physical count every month. Proper control
activities are in place for these counts. (1)
c) On completion of the monthly count, the supervisor compares the inventory on
hand with the minimum reorder level. If the inventory level is below the order
level, he completes a requisition and forwards it to the purchasing department.
(2)
d) The purchasing clerk completes a purchase order and, after it has been
authorised, forwards it to the supplier from whom the previous purchase of the
item in question was made. The purchasing clerk is also responsible for the
payment of suppliers. (2)
e) Goods delivered are received by the storemen. No documentation is prepared
upon the receipt of goods. (2)
Team B
Internal control activities identified over credit sales are as follows:
f) After the availability of inventory has been confirmed, client orders are
completed in triplicate on the order forms by the sales representatives or the
sales clerk. The credit controller, the storeman and the delivery clerk each
receive a copy of every order. (2)
g) The credit controller evaluates each client’s outstanding balance and informs
the delivery clerk, by phone, whether delivery can be made. In the case of a
new client, the credit controller phones the person who placed the order and
based on the conversation, evaluates whether or not credit may be granted.
