Question
Chapter 7, Problem 4QC
To determine
Separation of Duties
This is the internal control principle which reduces the possibilities of money embezzlement, by separating the responsibilities of employees. This ensures that the employees working in related jobs will not interfere with other employees’ responsibilities.
The following are the two applications of segregation of duties:
- 1. The related responsibilities should be shuffled and given to the employees who are not related. This application eliminates the possibility of fraud due to separation of responsibilities.
- 2. The custodian of asset should not be made responsible for accounting records or accounting department. This avoids the interference of custodians with the book-keeping responsibility, and keeps fraud at bay.
To determine: The importance of separation of duties
