ABCD CPA is an audit specialist in the construction industry. One of its clients is Good Contractors Limited (GC) which is engaged in the construction of houses, commercial complexes, roads, bridges and others. Because it has many on-going projects in the year, GC employs a lot of workers regularly.

Does the foreman verify the hours worked in the time card before submitting them to the payroll department? 2. Does personnel staff independently check the background of new workers before offering employment? 3. Does the data entry clerk compare the number of cheques issued with the batch control total? 4. Does the accountant independently reconcile the payroll transaction file with the master file and the general ledger?
