1.Think of a local bookstore, such as Borders, and describe in detail the risks associated with this bookstores sale of merchandise (not limited to books) to customers, and propose at least four internal controls that would mitigate those risks. Now take a look at Amazon.com (or some other online bookstore.) Evaluate the differences that exist in an online selling environment, and explain how those risks are mitigated.

Design (using words) how payroll data should flow within the company, and in your design, make sure you address the control objectives.
