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 think option E about the physical inventory is important too, but I wonder if it’s as impactful as establishing an internal audit department.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like having a bank account in the local currency (option A) could help with managing foreign transactions better.

I remember we discussed how internal audits can really enhance control systems, so I think option B might be a strong choice.

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.

The test execution status table provides a lot of useful information, but I'm not sure how to interpret the risk reduction percentages. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe Incident Management could also be responsible for first-line support?

You know what they say, 'cash is king.' Investing excess funds in short-term securities is a bit risky if the finance director is the only one handling it.

The policy to complete a physical inventory of all non-current assets annually is a good idea too. It will help keep track of the company's assets and ensure they are properly accounted for.
