Each of the following situations reveals an internal control weakness:
a. In evaluating the internal control over cash payments of Farley Manufacturing, an auditor learns that the purchasing agent is responsible for purchasing diamonds for use in the com- pany's manufacturing process, approving the invoices for payment, and signing the checks. No supervisor reviews the purchasing agent's work.
b. Leah Royce owns an architectural firm. Royce's staff consists of 16 professional architects, and Royce manages the office. Often, Royce's work requires her to travel to meet with clients.
During the past six months, Royce has observed that when she returns from a business trip, the architecture jobs in the office have not progressed satisfactorily. Royce learns that when she is away, two of her senior architects take over office management and neglect their normal duties. One employee could manage the office.
c. James Dorf has been an employee of the City of Marion for many years. Because the city is small, Dorf performs all accounting duties, in addition to opening the mail, preparing the bank deposit, and preparing the bank reconciliation.
