Make atleast 1 recommendation to improve the internal control structure for each of the weaknesses identified.


A sales branch of SOuth Pacific Manufacturing Company has an office consisting of the following employees; branch manager, Nice Mauri, and two assistant, Isa Lei and Peter Wong. The branch has a local bank account in which it deposits cash receipts. Cheques drawn on the bank account require Nice's signature or the signature of R C Kisun, treasurer of the company. Bank statements and paid cheques are returned by the bank to Nice, who retains them in his files after preparing the monthly bank reconcilaition. Reports of disbursements are also prepared by Nice and submitted to Kisun at the home office on scheduled dates.

The person who has the authority to sign a check can not be the person who reconciles the bank statement. Either the tresurer should be the only person signing checks or the assistants should reconcile the bank statement. Cash receipts should be deposited in a lockbox monitored and controled by the treasurer department. Reports of disbrsements should be prepared by Nice assistants.

send cancelled checks (or an electronice equivilant) to home office.

compare to reconcilliation reports.

alternately, transfer funds from all deposits to headquarters and issue payments from headquarters.
