You have made an audit of buying activities in a large purchasing organization employing buyers, buying supervisors, buying managers, and a director of purchasing. One of your audit objectives was to test the approval procedures, which call for written approvals of the buying actions at varying levels, depending on the dollar values of the purchases. You have examined 50 purchase orders and have found that in 15 instances involving several buyers the purchase orders were typed and issued to the suppliers without the written approvals at the prescribed levels. In her required written response to the audit report discussing the condition you found, the director of purchasing stated that she would issue instructions to her people to be more careful in the future about complying with approval procedures.
Required: 

(1) Describe two major shortcomings of the director's response and

(2) give two additional steps the director of purchasing could prescribe that would help prevent a recurrence of the condition.
