  3.Identify and explain segregation of duties
  segregation of duties involves assigning different employees to perform functions such that an employee acting alone is prevented from committing an error or concealing a fraud in the normal course of his duties.
  there are four types of responsibilities should be segregated:
  1.the authority to execute transactions.
  2.record keeping of the transactions
  3.custody of the assets affected by the transactions.
  4.periodic reconciliation of the existing assets to recorded amounts.
  4.Identify the conflicts the accountant faced according to the Standard Code of Ethics.The proper course of actions.(one accountant发现这些不妥,要怎样反馈给老板)
  It conflicts with the standard of“disclose delays or deficiencies in information timeliness,processing,or internal controls”and“recognize and communicate professional limitations that preclude responsible judgment”
  Actions:
  1.set the internal control system.
  2.set the internal audit system.
