Inventory Control
To have a reliable internal control, the firm develops written policies and procedures and invest in education
and training for employees. Supervisors also evaluate an employee’s performance to make sure the
employee is following company policies. Before the purchases were approved, the purchasing agents review
requisitions for proper approval and budgets. In our enterprise, the purchasing agents wants to know first if
the purchases are aligned with the correct suppliers. Checking document receipt on receiving report and
comparing goods received to purchase order are will-organized inorder to trace and manage good internal
control system in the company. The accounts payable personnel separate from receiving, purchasing, and
cash disbursements where in disbursements made with pre-numbered checks. In our order through checks, it
is signed by authorized individual in order maintain credit and to have control in the amount of money that
goes in and out.
Purchasing Department
The purchasing department receives the purchase requisitions, sorts them by vendor, and prepares a
multipart purchase order (PO) for each vendor. Two copies of the PO are sent to the vendor. One copy of the
PO is sent to inventory control, where the clerk files it with the open purchase requisition. One copy of the
PO is sent to AP for filing in the AP pending file. One copy (the blind copy) is sent to the receiving
department, where it is filed until the inventories arrive. The clerk files the last copy along with the purchase
requisition in the open PO file.
Receiving
Goods arriving from the vendor are reconciled with the blind copy of the PO. Upon completion of the
physical count and inspection, the receiving clerk prepares a multipart receiving report stating the quantity
and condition of the inventories. One copy of the receiving report accompanies the physical inventories to
the storeroom. Another copy is sent to the purchasing department, where the purchasing clerk reconciles it
with the open PO. The clerk closes the open PO by filing the purchase requisition, the PO, and the receiving
report in the closed PO file.A third copy of the receiving report is sent to inventory control where (assuming
a standard cost system) the inventory subsidiary ledger is updated. A fourth copy of the receiving report is
sent to the AP department, where it is filed in the AP pending file. The final copy of the receiving report is
filed in the receiving department.
AP Department
When the invoice arrives, the AP clerk reconciles the financial information with the documents in the
pending file, records the transaction in the purchases journal, and posts it to the supplier’s account in the AP
subsidiary ledger (voucher register). After recording the liability, the AP clerk transfers the source
documents (PO, receiving report, and invoice) to the open vouchers payable (AP) file.
The general ledger department receives a journal voucher from the AP department and an account summary
from inventory control. The general ledger clerk reconciles these and posts to the inventory and AP control
accounts. With this step, the purchases phase of the expenditure cycle is completed.
