INTRODUCTION
The report is based on two concepts: the spending cycle and the cash conversion cycle.
The graph demonstrates how and when the documents are posted, how many copies need to be
produced for distribution, and how the research under way is managed (Phillips, 2018). Faults
also are discussed and recommendations were provided for the proposed selection phase. The
other word, that is the cash conversion period, refers to the time, the possibility and also to the
entire process.
MAIN BODY
1. System flow chart of expenditure cycle

Analysis- the system flow chart of expenditure indicates that under this chart, there are
two departments purchasing and receiving department. In the receiving department, all types
of inventory functions are managed such as warehouses, computer inventory system etc.
while purchasing department all types of buying activities are included.
1.1 Analysis of physical internal control weaknesses in the expenditure cycle
1. Possible weaknesses Structural weaknesses
The income cycle system: Most RC activities are carried out the over-charged by the investment
advisor (AC), in particular the RC, transactions and processes. The consumer's request is
received and acknowledged, generates files for RC sources, like slips and tender packing, but
also retains the particular stock and receipts for the cash deposits. False intentions can happen
right here. The CA may be inaccurate with the purchaser of the product lines and may
misinterpret the user. The customer may still have more cost, but he keeps track of and assures
about the sale at the very same price.
Expenditure cycle system- In one division, the Group combines identification, approval and care;
distribution, sourcing and stock management (R, P & IC). It is an violation of the division of
responsibilities (Banerjee, 2018). Most EC operations are carried out by R, P and IC in certain
organizational responsibilities, in particular EC, transactions or procedures. This makes
payments, collects structured refunds, evaluates and maintains inventories, and provides a
statistical repository on accounts payable. False behavior could happen here. For example, R, P
and IC staff may have conflicting positions on the seller and may annoy the president / owner;
they may even take unkempt soup (except hard food) and no one will take charge of it.
2. Weaknesses of documentation and commercial actions (methods)
The identification and economic operations of giant eggplants can be at risk throughout
the purchasing cycle:

• Successful figures in the CE files, for example, do not interfere with the number of records.
The creation and differentiation of performance / reporting may be difficult, particularly when
the business is beginning to implement a new accounting method.
• The Accountant directly promotes the plan by evaluating the client's financial background
(company management framework or consumer accounting source) during the contract
negotiation process. It seems like the consumer has not yet done a ton of work to the product.
Internal control weaknesses (IC)
The possible shortcomings of the general control of the body's RC structure are:
Organizational Controls
 Accounts of staff; a wide range of tasks, like expenditure, revenue account holders,
substantial inventory and learn better, may be exempted (Tanvejsilp, Dushoff and Xie,
2018). This can activate the inconsistency of the AC-client. In addition, the President /
Owner will not assess the currency findings.
Documentation checks
The RC documents are not complete:
 Description several duplicates of the sales order (CO) documents are required as one is
not sufficient. If the accounting firm actually sends CO information on the line, it appears
that the marketing director may insert incorrect data that may make a significant
contribution to incredulity.
 There is no straightforward CO for telephone calls collected in the customer and the
publicized Order of acknowledgement (OA) and that there is no high strength or lack of
facts in the return.
Resource responsibility checks

The workers assert that goods from the growth of storage facilities be coordinated by
transporting to make sure, at least even when they're not verified, that the oral request by
the AC or the president or owner, that the shipping staff members (report) are recognized
at the time of listing. This is problematic because it will achieve results, but there is no
evidence left.
Executives exercise controls
No marketing goals have been formed for the RC, such as credit authorization, account
liberties, agreements and collection procedure; this can cause discomfort as the group
keeps developing and utilizes the most staff to control the RC workouts (Lecue and Wu,
2017). RC processes may be enacted under conditions of ambiguity and inconsistency
due to a lack of manufacturing processes. In addition, it is difficult for an institution to
start preparing for its replacement when the accounting firm leaves.
The possible shortcomings of the general control of the body's EC framework are:
Organizational Controls
There are many responsibilities for staff involved in the invoice, buy and tracking of an
account, such as inventory control, credit debt obligations and information management. The
employees of R, P and IC finish most of the CE modules. This may make a contribution to an
immoral role.
Document checks
CE documents are not complete as there are no adequate documents of:
 Represent the purchase basic assumption that the device setup is not allowed.
 Rendered an order for reimbursement, which does not imply a formal exchange officer.
 Upon receipt of the reassessment paper. This is critical for stock exchanges and
additional analysis.

Internal controls suggested
For the RC framework:
 Complex business frameworks, namely credit agreements, account privileges and sharing
and programs written should be established for RC.
 The procedures and practices for mediation and receipt should be carried out in
compliance with (willingly established).
 Exchange correspondence such as percent return papers and compensation papers shall
be published annually for the external inquiry and the audit process.
CE Framework:
 The method of purchasing and managing cash should be established for purchase limits,
returns on buying and method of purchases (Sturny, 2019).
 The procurement strategies should be tested with cash transfer and negotiation
agreements (in the case of negotiations).
 The Mobile Account Checks, Breaches and Complaints review by managers periodically.
 Assistance should be regulated to deter retail theft and avoid staffing, such as unusual
incidents in retail. The rules for internal controls conform to COSO monitoring and audit
capabilities of the internal control program.
System flow chart of conversion cycle
Flow chart of cash conversion cycle- This can be described as a type of chart consisting
of detailed details on activities linked to the conversion of current assets to cash. Below is a flow
chart showing the importance of every time for the turn of the current assets into cash:

Interpretation- On the basis of above chart this can be stated that all operations have been
managed sales order system, marketing system. Under sales order system, functions of sales are
managed and under marketing system sales forecast, inventory level etc. are controlled.
2.2 Analysis of the risks exists in the conversion cycle and the changes needed to reduce the
risks.
An organization without the risk of conflict in the coming months should be considered
to be an ongoing challenge. This law works hopelessly to protect a company's financing, because
banks agree that a firm will take action to collect its bills (Fund, 2017). Therefore, as a
corporation is tasked with remaining in business, the risk of moving through the loan agreements
reduces. The corporation always appears to have a rough time with big balances or loans. The
danger is expressed in an enterprise's cash exchange process.

Types of risks involved in cash conversion cycle:
1. Delay in Payment- If longer customers invest and AR also increases dramatically, the real
issue begins. The toughest solution is potentially that the corporation covers the banks' shortfall.
This is risky since the present situation is not a corporation or a financial body but a resident
concern. Speaking to the business owner and maximizing the AP DO would be a wise phase in
the management of DO production. The consequence is a variety of businesses that raise capital
and operate solely to support their workers.
2. Decline in Liquidity- A wise estimation of community capital resources is important, because
lower fund balance raises the liquidity risk. Business experts and advisors contribute to
producing income and to having adequate capital to meet a company's normal needs, so
consumers agree whether an organization is typically willing to cover the acquisition supplies.
Liquidity is also a prerequisite for foreign regulators to determine commitments, for example
while addressing queries (Zou and Qian, 2018).
3. Void Invoices- Someone who intends to lead the manufacturer, the service provider and the
borrower can contact the company. Communicating by phone, by mail, by fax or by e-mail might
be required. The scammer wants the name of the bank Modified with the following receipts. The
scammer is actually running the expected new account.
4. Lack of inputs- Absence of running systems including production lines , for example linked
production methods.
5. Deficiency inventory- Anxious stock markets may cause problems, poor corporate forecasts
and misleading stocks, it should have limited production ferocity on a daily basis. A design
brand, for example, offers a 3-shaped model shoe. The reflections don't often sell one month
after the start of this season and will only be canceled for the next show.
6. Acutely sharpened- The essay generates greater competition than anticipated and becomes
sold out fast. When the transaction window is low, that can talk of missed sales. For examples, in
January a popular Christmas toy might cause a sensation.

7. A worthy loss- An object, component or material is on the rack every day and it's cheap to
find. Value may decline significantly due to other competing product inputs or indefinite
transport costs (Neyestani, 2017).
8. Natural hazards- Every day on the store there is an object, part or material that is
inexpensive. The value will decline easily, since it is difficult to measure certain rival inputs or
transportation costs.
9. Channel index- Stocks transferred to transportation services result in an unusual form of
inventory hazard. Backers often have the option of redeeming unsold bonds and growing profits
if they don't sell. In addition, inadequate inventory in a channel may damage financial activity if
users stop applying.
Changes needed to reduce the risks/ Risk management:
Focus on seeing the end-to-end supply chain:
The challenging aspect of adaptable chains is that the only impact they have is
manufacturer, organization and consumer exercises. This is when the condition of suppliers,
customers etc. is immediately ignored.
1. Simplify the inventory- One of the most convincing businesses of agile chain startups is
potentially to adjust inventory scale, while responding quickly and reducing resources (Hassan
and Mahinderjit-Singh, 2016). To charge shop and stock while still being sufficiently loaded to
satisfy the needs of customers, continue with the following methods:
 Reducing the intergovernmental nature of the Plan section as a whole
 Appropriately managing shipping times for the supplier
 Appropriate collaboration processes (for example, JIT and VMI)
 Limit thing’s redundant streams
 Approximately boost the governance of tender process and subordination.
2. Increase the buying cycle- Flexible (and inevitable) risk-taking risks that present a significant
concern for payment suppliers. If they seek to expand time to half the sending of money (for

keeping it as available as expected) the impact on the income of remittance companies will be
capricious.
In every event, the amount of individuals in the pocket may be rearranged with the downside,
corporate experience and possible cap on the first betting. Find a role in these areas of the
multifaceted chain:
 Applicable to monitor the sustainable development agreement in order to reduce iteration
quicker than the conditions stipulated.
 No Ways of registering and getting paid workflow allowances.
 LEAP Creation of a provider base to make the exchange of contracts more financially
viable.
3. Advance Order to Money Circle- the payment method is variable, based on the period,
dependency and accuracy (Bobade and Patil, 2016). In addition, some have adopted the tradition
of providing effective and productive treatment until the client plans pursue counseling for a
sport.
It is difficult to restrict this restriction to collection times while maintaining a fast , reliable
schedule and reliable volume of output. Attempt to split the process in certain specific areas and
see if the period will be shortened:
 Send immediately (speed and accuracy) payment forms.
 Active in pursuit of adaptive and fundamental inventions.
 Benefit and the extent to which merchant accounts are given to the various customers
(Salman, and Hashim, 2016).
Conclusion
The described portion of the report concludes that documents of the company should be
updated so as to make better checks feasible and to increase the quality of customer contact. In
addition to the article, each flow chart allows organizations to make correct decisions. Efficient
distribution of duties within a business is often to be updated such that resentment and theft at

work are avoided. Consequently, make specific recommendations that rely on the integrated
COSO control scheme of the author.
