Introduction:
1)
Explanation of Solution
Given process failure:
In the accounts payable master data, a vendor invoice was posted to the wrong vendor record, as the data entry clerk transferred digits in the vendor identification number.
Determine the control plan for each process failure given:
Check digit (a programmed edit): Programmed edit checks help to identify the errors in the input document, then the clerk will take corrective actions based on the identified errors. it helps to obey with balance agreement and saves time.
The edits in the input document help to identify enormous errors, which would result in improved accuracy and it ensure input completeness.

8)
Explanation of Solution
Given process failure:
The total of vendor payable balances that are outstanding shows the large difference from general ledger’s balance due to miscellaneous errors.
Determine the control plan for each process failure given:
Reconcile run-to-run totals: The reconciliation of batch totals or the run-to-run totals would detect the errors if the general ledger is updated as a batch.

Explanation of Solution
Given process failure:
The organization paid for the received invoices. However, they paid for the things that were never purchased.
Determine the control plan for each process failure given:
Match invoice with PO and receiving report: The invoice received from the vendor should be matched with the purchase order and receiving report.

Explanation of Solution
Given process failure:
The particular vendor would receipt the goods always on time. However, the organization failed to obtain cash discounts, as the invoices are after late from the vendor.
Determine the control plan for each process failure given:
Tickler file of open purchase orders and receiving reports: Tickler files are an electronic or manual area where the documents, which need follow-up will be stored.

- Listed here are 20 control plans discussed in the chapter. On the blank line to the left of each control plan, insert a P (preventive), D (detective), or C (corrective) to classify that control most accurately. If you think that more than one code could apply to a particular plan, insert all appropriate codes and briefly explain your answer:arrow_forwardAccording to Simon (1999) the most appropriate Lever of Control to address a lack of opportunity or fear of risk is? a. Interactive Control Systems. b. Belief Systems. C. Boundary Systems. d. Diagnostic Control Systems. e. Short- and Long-Term Incentive Systems.arrow_forwarda) Explain what an ethical dilemma is and provide an example of a situation where individuals were faced with an ethical dilemma in a real-world project. b) Provide an example of a project that has failed. Your example should include a summary of reasons why the project is considered to have failed, with specific reference to the project lifecycle and controls that could have been put in place at each phase of the project lifecycle, to minimise the likelihood of these failures occurring in the first place. c) A company manufactures a component which sells for £33. The variable cost associated with its manufacture is £17 per component. Fixed costs allocated total £128,000. Plot a graph to show the number of components the company needs to sell to break even (i.e. to cover the sum of the fixed and variable costs). d) Tuckman found that teams go through six key development phases. List the six phases of team development and provide a brief explanation of each.arrow_forward

- Imagine that you realize that the firm you are working for does not have good documentation for its current AIS. You recommend that some system documentation be prepared to assist in developing the AS-IS model of the current system. Of the various documentation techniques covered this week, which ones do you recommend and which would you not recommend? Why?arrow_forwardIf the system is behind schedule and if each pro- gram module is tested and no problems are found, is it necessary to test all modules in conjunction with one another? Why or why not?arrow_forward3. Risk registers would normally detail which of the following: (Select all that apply.) A. Risk level before controls are implemented B.

Choices: A.Sub-optimal choice of functions B.Overconfidence, lack of checking and time constraints C.Inability to use logical functions D.Insufficient use of general best practices relating to flow, formatting and audit paths E.All of the choices are causes of mistakesarrow_forwardConsider the following dialogue between a system professional, Jim Festin, and a manager of adepartment targeted for a new information system, Charles Puno:Festin: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing keydocuments and observing the workers perform their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects areworking well and which should be preserved.Puno: We have been through these types of projects before and what always ends up happening isthat we do not get the new system we are promised; we get a modified version of the old system.Festin: Well, I can assure you that will not happen this time. We just want a thorough understanding ofwhat is working well and what is not.Puno: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We shouldspend some time up-front determining exactly what we want the system to do for my department. Thenyou systems people can come in and determine what portions to salvage if you…arrow_forwardWhat are the strengths and weaknesses that you see in the AIS system and ways that you would improve any weaknesses identified?arrow_forward
