I recall a practice question where we talked about invoice approvals. Option D seems like it could help with accountability, but I’m not convinced it’s the best choice overall.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key is identifying the changes that strengthen oversight, segregation of duties, and verification processes. The internal audit department and asset reconciliation seem like the best choices to improve the overall control system.

I'm a bit confused about the change with the finance director handling the investment transactions. That seems like it could weaken the controls, but I'll need to think through the implications more carefully.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking which two changes would most likely improve CW's overall control system. I think establishing an internal audit department and reconciling the physical inventory with the asset register are good options.

The change with approving invoices at the branches and sending the documentation to head office is interesting. That could improve efficiency, but I'd want to make sure there are still adequate checks and balances in place.
