The controls are reasonably good, and no unusual audit problems arose in previous years.

36. Although there are not many individuals in the accounting department, there is a reasonable separation of duties in the organization. There is a separate purchasing agent who is responsible for ordering goods and a separate receiving department that counts the goods when they are received and prepares receiving reports. There is a separation of duties between recording acquisitions and cash disbursements, and all information is recorded in the two journals independently. The controller reviews all supporting documents before signing the checks, and he immediately mails the checks to the vendors. Check copies are used for subsequent recording. All aspects of internal control seem satisfactory to you, and you perform minimum tests of 25 transactions as a means of assessing control risk. In your tests, you discover the following exceptions: 1. One invoice was paid twice. The second payment was supported by a duplicate copy the invoice. Both copies of the invoice were marked “paid.” 2. Two items in the acquisitions journal were misclassified. 3. Three invoices were not initialed by the controller, but there were no dollar misstatements evident in the transactions. 4. Five receiving reports were recorded in the acquisitions journal at least 2 weeks later than their date on the receiving report. 5.
