Question 179

An organization has a large number of vendors supplying goods to its various branches across the region. The code of conduct statements signed by the employees specify that the employees or their families will not sell goods to the organization. However, during the internal audit of a branch, the internal auditor suspected that some of the employees may be supplying goods to the organization contrary to the code of conduct. The chief audit executive has requested that a thorough review be completed to identify the potential employee vendors. Of the following tests, it would be least useful to compare [List A] with [List B].

[List A]

[List B]

Vendor bank account numbers Employee bank account numbers

Dates of payments to vendors Dates of salary payments to employees

Addresses of vendors from the vendor database Addresses of employees from the employee database

Vendor names

Correct Answer: B

When trying to identify potential employee vendors, comparing the dates of payments to vendors with the dates of salary payments to employees is the least useful. This is because payment dates are not likely to provide any direct evidence of employees engaging in vendor activities. More useful comparisons would be those that involve unique identifiers such as bank account numbers or addresses which can more directly link vendors to employees.
