    Dear Sir,

    Having read through this qn, I have a doubt,

    One line in the qn goes like this,

    “Sales staff are responsible for assessing new customers’ creditworthiness and proposing a credit limit which is then authorised by the sales director”

    While the deficiency of this means there’s a risk of setting limits just to achieve targets, my qn is this,

    Could I say that if the new customers have some connection, (say family relation) with Heraklion , or its current customers, then those companies will be given preference or even lower credit targets compared to other new customers?

    It is silly, but would the examiner accept that as a deficiency? And the control would be the same like (checking bank references etc..) with the added test of confirming no connection between any co. other than being potential customers ( which would be tedious)

    Thanks

    It would be very difficult to ensure there is no connection between the new customer and the company. I could also suggest that family connection should be looked at closely in case they were given too favourable treatment.
