Practical Problem 3

You decide to conduct an audit of the purchasing function for this division. But before you
do, you decide to get some more information about the division and the employees. You find that
Mr. Brackens has been an employee for more than twenty-five years, coming to the company right
out of college. He has five employees that work for him, one is a manager (Angela Harkins) and
the rest are buyers — two senior buyers and three junior buyers. Harkins has been an employee
for 15 years and the buyers have been working in the department for six months to ten years: Jim
Rydel, Sr. Buyer (10 years); Ruth Bell, Senior Buyer (7 years); Ben Troupe, Junior Buyer (2
years); Rhonda Davidson, Junior Buyer (2 years); Rick Adams, Junior Buyer (6 months).
Regarding purchasing policies, any purchase that is more than $10,000 must go out for a bid.
All bids must be approved by the manager of the purchasing department or higher. Only
authorized vendors are allowed to bid. Vendors without a vendor number must be handled by
special processing and approved by the director.
Junior buyers can authorize purchases of up to $5,000; senior buyers, $7,000; managers and
directors, $9,000.
You pull a listing of vendors who have been paid more than $100,000 for the years, 2000.
2001, and 2002 and find the following.
