Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
The payroll control process ensures accuracy and compliance by verifying records, preventing fraud, and reconciling financial transactions.
Batch Totals (Option A) -- Used to verify transaction accuracy.
System Edits (Option B) -- Automated controls to prevent errors.
Balancing & Reconciliation (Option D) -- Ensures payroll matches financial records.
Option C (Unauthorized Overtime) is incorrect because overtime management is an operational issue, not a control process.

Okay, let's see. The control process is all about ensuring accuracy and preventing errors, so I'm guessing C is the answer since unauthorized overtime doesn't really fit with the other options.
