1. During the course of your examination,we noted that SSB has not establish the policy to establish the allowance for doubtful debts.

2. It is costly to ensure that all duties re adequately segregated.Therefore,we are not surprise to note that the staff of SSB,who processes supplier invoices,also prepares cheques.
