Answer:

Lack of segregation of duties

Explanation:

Internal Controls are set of rules and guidelines that are followed to ensure effectiveness of business operations. The main risk in the business is weak internal controls. There are some organizations with strong internal controls but implementation of such controls is a challenge for organizations. There are human errors, IT security risks, fraud and compliance risk.

The risks associated with Olive limited is that there is no segregation of duties, Richard Palm is preparing journal vouchers, posts the journal vouchers and reconciles the balance himself. If he makes an error in recording a transaction there is no one who reviews his work and can identify an error. Also if Richard is involved in a fraud and collaborates with purchase department or sales department staff, he can pass a transaction without any supervision.

What type of printer heats toner to adhere it to the paper? inkjet . impact. 3D. laser.
Luden [163]

Answer:

laser

Explanation:

These are well known printer types now.  Let's review how they work to determine in which does heat plays a role.

inkjet: inkjet printers are printer throwing ink at the paper in the form of little drops.  No heat involved here.

impact: That's the oldest technology, where a printing head is moving left and right to punch a printing ribbon and transfer ink onto the paper.  No heat involved.

3D: 3D printers don't usually use paper... as they use other materials to create a 3D representation of a model.  Heat is involved in the melting of the material before it's placed on the building model.  But no paper involved here.

laser: laser printers are working very much like a photocopier machine... memorizing the pattern to be printed, then transferring it onto paper... using heat.
