Question

2. Authorisation of payments made to suppliers by signature of senior manager on payment instructions raised by payments clerk
3. Organisational chart showing directors and staff reporting lines.

Required:

Write down tests of controls which would give some assurance as to the effectiveness of the three controls noted above. You should write at least one procedure for each control.
