You are analyzing the exceptions that arose after your control testing of credit limit approvals. There were four exceptions where credit had not been approved. One was for a customer that was subsequently placed on C.O.D. (cash on delivery), and three occurred while the business was in the middle of its busy season, processing three times more transactions than most other times of the year. The company's busy season normally lasts about two months.

Required:

A. What is an anomaly?

B. Are any of the exceptions that you found anomalous? Why or why not?

C. Provide an example of a credit approval testing exception that would be anomalous.
