The crime rate in New York has significantly increased in the last three years. A reflection of this crime escalation is the killing of 39 taxi drivers last year. Seven of these drivers were employed by RTC and the other 32 were employed by one of the other three major companies in town. The Red Taxi Company (RTC) drivers are protesting and there is a possible risk of a united strike.

Management of RTC has requested that the internal audit department initiate a review and provide suggestions to alleviate the problem. Think about the RTC problem and make 5 internal control recommendations in a Powerpoint presentation. Describe your 5 internal control recommendations and how they will improve the safety of taxi rides.
