Critical Thinking Problem 1. To determine whether Passions Linen Shop was billed in error: a. Review Passions Linen Shop s purchase order file for duplicate orders to Sensuous Linen Company. If two orders were placed for the same merchandise, check the receiving reports to determine if both shipments were received. If Passions Linen Shop does not prenumber its purchase orders, two orders may have been issued for the same merchandise. If only one purchase order was placed, check the receiving reports for a duplicate shipment. b. If no duplicate purchase order or duplicate receipt of merchandise is found, ask Sensuous Linen Company to identify why they made two shipments of sheets. If Sensuous Linen Company made the second shipment in error, they will be obligated to accept return of the sheets. 2. To prevent this situation from occurring again: a. Prenumber all purchase order forms and periodically check to be sure that all forms can be accounted for. b. Require all purchase orders to have proper authorization before they are issued. Alexander can authorize all purchase orders, or she can designate appropriate personnel to handle this function. c. Require all shipments of merchandise received by the shop to be compared to the corresponding purchase order and the invoice received from the supplier. Any shipment for which there is no purchase order should be questioned immediately. d. Require the purchase order and corresponding receiving report to be attached to the invoice before it is presented for payment. Alexander can establish internal control procedures to reduce the possibility of issuing duplicate purchase orders, but she cannot prevent suppliers from making duplicate shipments in error. If the appropriate documentation accompanies invoices, though, she will know that the error is not Passions Linen Shop s. Business Connections Managerial Focus 1. Maintenance of good credit reputation, taking advantage of cash discounts. 2. Allows a business to buy on credit, using resources more effectively. 3. It is important to establish a good credit rating for future cash needs. Additionally, cash could be used for other purposes. 4. Protect against fraud and excessive investment in merchandise. 5. Ensures authorized-only purchases, verifies receipt of goods and accuracy of invoices, distributes tasks. 6. Creates a storage problem, risks obsolescence of the merchandise, and ties up funds. Ethical Dilemma Anait s actions are not ethical. If she cannot get a raise from this company she needs to locate a new job. When she performs the unethical action of getting money from a fictitious vendor she is stealing dollar for dollar from her company. Her money comes right out of net income for this company. When Anait finds how easy it is to get this money she will create more vendors and more invoices. To prevent these actions the controller should require each vendor to receive his/her approval. The procedure to only view the checks over $100 can still be maintained with this one approval process. Streetwise 1. $5,766 million, increased by $607 million. 2. Adoption of new accounting rules (EITF 02-16), improved inventory management, and changes in merchandising mix. 192 Chapter 8 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Students should demonstrate an understanding of the proper procedure when processing accounts payable.
