      Question

      During an audit, the auditor notices that a single

      person in a company is responsible for authorizing transactions, maintaining records, and custody of assets. What is the likely implication of this observation?
      A Strong internal controls Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Segregation of duties exists Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C High risk of error or fraud Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D No impact on audit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Lack of segregation of duties is a major internal control weakness, increasing risk of both errors and frauds. Proper internal control requires duties to be divided among different individuals.
