Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Internal control: Internal control is a process which ensures continuous reliability of accomplishment of a company’s objectives, related to operations, financial reporting, and in conformity with laws and regulations.
Reason of a system of internal control not able to overcome collusion by employees:
- No system of internal control is without weaknesses. As long as people perform control procedures, an internal
control system will be vulnerable to human error. - Errors can arise from misunderstanding, mistakes, in judgment, carelessness, distractions, or fatigue.
- Separation of duties can be defeated through collusion by employee who secretly agrees to deceive a company.
- Established Procedure may be ineffective against employee's errors or dishonesty.
- With the change in conditions, Internal Control may become Ineffective.
