ABC Solutions is a traditional company in a textile industry with a combined workforce of 150 staff. Due to increased levels of competition, this company is now increasingly finding it difficult to compete – especially as the larger companies seem to be a little more innovative, agile and responsive to client requirements. Management have noticed that staff, especially the highly skilled ones, are now leaving the company to seek work elsewhere (in these larger companies). This has meant appointing new staff and undertaking a considerable amount of re-training to replace those that have left the company. Apart from impacting on core business operations, ABC Solutions has started witnessing a drop in its profit margin. Given this position, senior management at ABC Solutions have decided to implement a performance measurement tool (PMT) that would allow them to align the strategic, management and operational requirements of the business. They are therefore considering the adoption of the…

The latter involves practice in casing mail (i.e., sorting) to appropriate locations of a case in preparation for delivery,reading maps, determining appropriate sequencing of delivery, and customer relations.

Payroll: Risks and Controls Below are some of the processes that are typically executed before, during, and after a payroll cycle: Employees record their hours worked. The supervisor reviews and approves each employee's time records with their signature. An officer from the Human Resources department updates employee files after receiving authorized records of overtime and leaves (vacations, illness, etc.) from the supervisor. Afterward, approved records are sent to the payroll officer in the accounting department. The payroll officer calculates the gross payment, applies deductions, and calculates the net payment. Subsequently, the final payroll is sent for the controller's approval. Payments are issued to employees using their preferred delivery method (check or direct deposit). Entries are generated for the corresponding payroll transactions. Withholdings for payroll taxes, Social Security, and Medicare are respectively remitted to the Department of Treasury and the Internal…
