STATUS OF INTERNAL CONTROL In order to be able to attain the companys major objectives about the effectiveness and efficiency of operation, the key element of any organization is its internal control structure because it provides reasonable assurance that the entity is able to reliably report and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
There are various elements that influence the operating effectiveness of the internal controls. First element is the organizations highly centralized operations. Because decisions regarding the company and its operations are all consolidated by the General Manager, who also happens to be the owner of the organization, a strong internal control is observed. Although incompatible duties are not clearly
segregated because of the entitys small size, this size also helps the company monitor each employee closely. Fraudulent activities can readily be spotted if they occur. Transactions, however, are still done manually which are more prone to human error. Forms use to generate authorizations for disbursement of money is not pre-numbered and are kept in an open space or drawers that are not physically secured. Only the official receipt and the charge invoice are prenumbered and are less exposed to asset misappropriation. There is only one cashier and receipt and disbursement of cash is centralized in her. This limited human intervention enables the company to hold responsibly and be accountable of the daily cash and check receipt and expenses. However, there is no visible security guard in the office area. Because the cashiers office is situated near the entrance and there is no gate in the entrance, there becomes an easy access into the cashiers office.
