Requirement:
1.Identify the weaknesses in Star Corporation's internal control.
Answer:
The primary problem in the internal control is that there is no proper segregation of duties. The
person who records cash disbursements and prepares checks for signature also prepares bank
reconciliations. Henry Martin would not have been capable of concealing the presence of the forged
check if another employee had reconciled bank statements. An employee with no other responsibility
for cash transactions should perform bank reconciliations.
The fact that checks are permitted to remain unpaid for
an extended period of time is another weakness in internal control. The list of outstanding checks
should be checked on a regular basis, and when a check has been unpaid for more than a fair
amount of time—typically 90 days—payment should be stopped.
2.Explain several audit procedures that might disclose the fraudulent disbursement.
Answer:
The first audit procedure that might reveal fraudulent payments involves testing the controls of the
client's periodic bank reconciliation. Second through fourth procedures are frequently related to the
test period covered by a proof of cash, wherein second is a verification of all checks paid by the
bank during a test period, third is accounting for serial numbers of all checks issued, and fourth is
confirming that all checks listed as outstanding at the start of a test period were either paid during
the period or still listed as outstanding at the end of the period.
