Expert Solution
Step 1 (Part 1)

A credit manager is a person who is appointed by the company in order to set terms of payments from customers, setting credit levels, taking risks, etc.

If in addition to the above role, if credit managers also have the authority to write off accounts receivables and collect money from accounts receivables. 

Under this situation, employees are more prone to commit fraud due to an increase in work pressure and too many responsibilities provided. It can also lead to system attacks, it means when employees manipulate the system data.

Prevention:-

The company should follow an effective internal control system and work pressure should also be divided among the team. Management should also be accountable for their work.
