Answer 1

I am going with a comprehensive answer, according to your material you can elaborate comparing with your material.

Recently I have visited a supermarket for purchasing daily needs, the internal controls i have found are as follows,

1. There are CCTV cameras all around the supermarket ensuring theft controls.
2. Every product is coded and marked (bar codes) to ensure proper inventory count and also proper billing of the same.
3. They are not allowing anything outside products into the store which may damage their reputation if some quality less materials are placed inside the store.
4. Proper checking and billing at the exit if the supermarket ensures no item is being left outside without payment if bills.
5. On discussion with billing people i have came to know that, all the cash (if any) they have received should be deposited into the bank account by next day, which ensures financial controls too.
