control deficiency: All store employees are able to use each till and none have an individual log on code when using the tills.
Allowing all employees access to the till points increases the risk of fraud and error arising.
Also in the event of cash discrepancies arising in the tills, it would be difficult to ascertain which employees may be responsible as there is no way of tracking who used which till.recommendation: Each employee should have a designated till and a log on code, which is required for each payment transaction.
maam this recommendation that has been given in my kit(which i believe is directly from the answers provided by the examiner) seems to be at odds with the examiner’s comments who states that-
“However some of the recommendations were either poorly described, did not clearly address the specific control deficiency identified, were impractical suggestions or were incomplete. For example for the deficiency ‘all employees can access all tills’, a common recommendation was ‘to have each employee accessing their own till’ which would be impractical with only three or four cash tills per store on average.”
can you guide me as to what is appropriate recommendation, after assessing the above contradicting facts?
When quoting from answers/examiners reports please make your subject of the post the question name and exam session – so I don’t have to research to find it and – more importantly – to help fellow students who might have the same question.
For each employee to have their own till means that there must be the same number of tills as employees – this is not practical.
For each employee to have a designated till is not the same thing – five employees could all be designated to the same till.
apologies ma’am; have updated the title of the post.
And thank you for the response, am clear now!
