Problem 1: Consider the four vignettes: Internal control over cash, Embezzling, information Technology and inventory. For each one, suggest one additional internal control procedure. Discuss whether the procedure you suggest is preventive, detective or corrective; also identify the type of risk it is designed to control based on risk categories.
Problem 2: Hassan and Ashok are employed by one of the Big Four CPA firms. Both have recently earned their CPA licenses, however, and are considering starting their own practice. Using Brown's risk taxonomy, identify and describe at least five risks Hassan and Ashok must be aware of if they start their own business. For each risk you identify, suggest one or more internal controls that could ameliorate it?
