The form is submitted to the Personal Assistant who supplies the spare parts from the Central Store. The mechanic collects the parts without any acknowledgment of receipt. The requisition forms collected for all the spare parts supplied are kept in one of the cabinets in the Personal Assistant’s office, and they are collated by the Accountant on a monthly basis whenever he is to prepare the management accounts.

At the end of the financial year, December 31, 2014, the Accountant conducted an inventory count of the items in the Central Store for the purpose of using the value for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Managing Director observed later while reviewing the financial statements that the repairs and maintenance account did not reflect the true position of the repair works carried out on the trucks during the year.
