After evaluating all the details of this case study, it is analysed that Macquarie Shopping
Center needs to install cyber computing enterprise resources planning to promote online cash
collection methods in its business. These online cash collection methods will diminish all the
problems and issues of manual cash collection methods. This will allow James to have proper
surveillance on the cash collection process and it will also help him to identify all the cash
inflow and outflow of money. These advanced technologies will help him to compute
possible cash inflow and outflow of money and help him to compare with the overall
turnover of the company. This is the advanced mechanism which will promote the online
cash surveillance and integrity of the other staff members in the Macquarie Shopping Center.
Therefore, it could be inferred that by using cyber computing enterprises resources planning
in the business, James could easily curb the cash matching problems in determined approach
(Isshaq, et al. 2009).
Implementing new cyber computing system in Macquarie Shopping Center
It is observed that in order to install new cyber computing system in Macquarie Shopping
Center will require re-engineering of value chain activities of the business. This will not only
help in automating in the business process of organization but also implement proper level of
cash matching control program in business. Therefore, it could be inferred that if this system
is implemented at the cash counter of the Macquarie Shopping Center then it would establish
online internal control system of the business (Marston, et al. 2011). Nonetheless, James
needs to evaluate all the internal and external factors before implementing this new program.

It is evaluated that Macquarie Shopping Center needs to change its business structure and
adopt advance machines in its business for the better internal control system of the
organization. However, it will require employees to learn use of advance technical system in

system in the business to check all the cash inflow and outflow of the money in the
Macquarie Shopping Center (Xu, 2012).

in cash collection, it is considered that the main reason of decreasing the cash collection in
his business is related to less effective internal control system. Therefore, James by installing
