Physical Expenditure Cycle
Physical accounting information systems combine technology and human activity. As a general rule, smaller businesses tend to rely
less on technology and more on manual procedures, whereas larger companies tend to employ advanced technologies.
The nature of the technology/human mix employed in a particular system has a direct bearing on the nature of internal controls needed to control the system.

Basic Technology Expenditure Cycle Computers tend to be independent PCs. Information between departments is
communicated via hard-copy documents. Maintaining physical files of source documents
is critical to the audit trail. In the following flowcharts notice that in many
departments, after an individual completes his or her assigned task, documents are filed as evidence that the task was performed.

Basic Purchases System
Begins when inventory clerk prints purchase requisitions by accessing the purchase requisition file This file was created when inventories dropped to
predetermined reorder point. The purchasing department receives the requisition
Adds a record to the open purchase order file• PO copies are sent to
– Vendor– Inventory control– AP– Blind copy to receiving

Basic Purchases System
Receiving clerk receives the goods and reconciles with packing slip and blind copy of PO Sends receiving report to
• Inventory storeroom• Purchasing department• Files hard copy
AP department reconciles invoice, purchase order and receiving report Records transaction in the purchases journal
Gender ledger department receives journal voucher from AP dept and account summary from inventory control.

Basic Cash Disbursement System
AP clerk reviews AP packets each day, identifies items due, sends supporting documents to cash disbursements department.
Cash disbursements department reviews documents for completeness and accuracy and prepares the payment for signature.
AP department removes the liability and sends AP summary to GL department.
GL department posts to the general ledger control accounts and files the documents.

Authorization Controls
Purchases of inventory should be authorized by the Inventory Control department, not by purchasing agents
Accounts Payable authorizes the payments of bills, not the cash disbursements clerk, who writes the checks

Segregation of Duties
Segregation of inventory control from the warehouse

Supervision
Within the expenditure cycle, supervision is of highest importance in the Receiving department, where the inventory arrives and is logged in by a receiving clerk. Need to minimize: failures to properly inspect the assets theft of the assets

Accounting Records
Accounting records rest on the reliability and security of stored digitalized data. Accountants should be skeptical about the accuracy
of hard-copy printouts. Backups - the system needs to ensure that backups
of all files are continuously kept Most automated systems still have a lot of paper
documents. This is good for audit trail purposes but is often
inefficient. As the system becomes increasing paperless,
maintaining an audit trail becomes more difficult.

Independent Verification
A/Payable dept. verifies much of the work done within the expenditure cycle. PR, PO, receiving reports, and suppliers’ invoices must
be checked and verified by A/P.
G/Ledger dept. verifies: the total obligations recorded equal the total inventories
received the total reductions in accounts payable equal the total
disbursements of cash

Integrated Purchase Processing
Computer operations Many tasks performed automatically (e.g. identify

Receiving department Clerk automatically prompted to enter quantities
received; system automatically creates receiving report, updates inventory, sends info to G/L
AP department System links vendor invoice, PO, receiving report;
creates virtual AP packet, automatically approves payment

Reengineering using EDI
Expedites routine transaction processing between business partners
Requires trading partner agreement Reengineering receiving function and the AP
tasks produce considerable cost savings
EDI poses unique control risks that must be recognized and controlled – only valid transactions must be processed
