Question

"A small grocery store has three employees working each shift, but they only" have one checkout register. Depending on which employee is available when a customer is ready to check out, all three employees use the same register at various times of the day.

Which principle of control activities does this grocery store violate?

Answer 1

establishment of responsibility

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the principles of control activities is establishment of responsibility. This establishment of responsibilty means that an employee is meant to have a level of responsibilty for his work as well as decisions taken.

From the question, it can be seen that the use of one register by three worker working diffeent shifts ensure a lack of responsibilty on the part of the workers. This is because if each of the workers had seperate registers for entering customer check out, there would be more responsibilty from the workers in discharging their duties as any mistakes will be owned by each worker.

Cheers.
