Wholesale Health Supply sells a variety of medical equipment and supplies to retailers. When a new retailer is approved for credit, one of the criteria is that the retailer must have been in business for at least six months. Good Earth Foods placed a large order with Wholesale Health Supply and requested credit terms. Wholesale Health Supply faxed a credit request form to Good Earth Foods, and the buyer at Good Earth Foods faxed the completed form back to Wholesale Health Supply. Robin Sylvester, the sales manager at Wholesale Health Supply, saw the credit application and noticed Good Earth Foods had only been in business for two months. Thinking she might lose the order if Good Earth Foods wasn’t extended credit, Robin authorized the shipment.

- You are conducting an audit on your client's revenue cycle for the 2019 financial year. Your client is a medical device distributor company. One of the policies of the client is that they sell to customers on credit by providing a payment period of 30 days. If the customer pays on time, a 3% discount is given. Clients receive payments from customers in the form of cash payments to cashiers or collectors, transfers to the client's company bank account, and payments via checks, and post-dated checks. Based on this policy you perform a risk assessment.

This morning one of the site supervisors submitted an invoice requesting immediate payment to a new vendor for items he claims were delivered directly to a work site. The supervisor attached a note to the invoice asking that the check be returned to him upon issuance so that he could personally deliver it to the vendor. This would ensure the timeliness of future deliveries. He claims that unless the payment is made immediately, there will be delivery delays on items needed to complete this job, as well as delays on items for another contract in progress.
