I would like some help with an Accounting Information Systems Flowchart project.

Top Notch Sports Memorabilia Top Notch Sports Memorabilia is a medium-sized, rapidly growing online and catalogue-based retailer located in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 1990 and specializes in providing customers with authentic, yet affordable sports memorabilia from their favorite players and teams past and present. The company gets most of its sales from the western region of the United States. Recently, the company is undergoing a campaign to spread out and increase its customer base. The company's competitors include online apparel retailers like WestBay, retail stores such as Sports Authority, and online memorabilia retailers such as the Danbury Mint. Top Notch's wide range of offerings include team jerseys, hats, autographed balls, plaques, bats, sports cards, figurines, etc. The company's sales have been increasing slowly over the years and last year's sales were a satisfying $95 million. The company currently employs 205 employees in its three warehouses and two offices in the tri-state area. Top Notch is well known for its close relations with suppliers. The company uses a wide base of manufacturers and memorabilia dealers around the country and is always looking for additional contracts with new or rare items to offer. Top Notch uses a series of low-tech computer assistance to assist with its various daily manual tasks and maintains controlled access to relevant data within the company. The company continues to expand many of these manual tasks likely to be replaced with a more advanced computer system. These manual tasks currently serve their purpose and have not hindered business as a whole. Revenue System Top Notch's revenue process is initiated with the placement of a customer order by a customer either online, by mail, or through a telephone representative. The order is then manually entered into the computer system for mail or telephone orders, while online orders are automatically entered upon arrival. Upon being entered into the system, a sales representative is required to perform a credit check on the customer. If the credit is approved, a sales order is created and entered into the system for further processing. If credit is denied, the process ends and the customer notified of the automatic cancellation. Four copies of a sales order are created. The first copy is entered into the terminal in the sales department and filed. The second copy is sent electronically to the computer terminal in the billing department where it is further processed. The third copy is sent to the computer terminal in the warehouse for further processing. The final copy is sent to the customer as a receipt stating that the order has been received and processed. In addition to creating sales orders, every time a sale is approved, the sales records are updated and the entries are electronically posted to the sales journal file. Upon arrival of the sales order at the warehouse terminal, it is used as a stock release in authorizing a warehouse clerk to get the requested items from the shelves. When the goods have been obtained, the clerk prepares a bill of lading, packing slip, and shipping notice for the goods. The shipping notice is entered into the terminal, while the other two documents are sent to the carrier along with the goods. If a certain item is out of stock or on back-order, this is specified in the shipping notice to inform billing and accounts receivable. The clerk then sends a copy of the shipping notice to billing. After billing receives a copy of the sales order and shipping notice, these documents are reconciled and the order is priced with all the appropriate charges and taxes for preparation of an invoice. Two copies of the invoice are created. One copy is sent to the customer in the form of a bill, and the other is sent electronically to accounts receivable for further processing. Upon arrival of the invoice at the accounts receivable computer terminal, the accounts receivable journal file is updated. After the customers receive the goods and invoices, they remit payment to Top Notch. The clerks in the mailroom open and sort the customers' remittances consisting of checks and remittance advices. The checks are sent to the cash receipts department where the payments are recorded in the cash receipts journal file. Two copies of a deposit slip are created after the amounts are recorded. One copy is entered into the system via the cash receipts terminal, and the other copy along with the customer checks are sent to the bank for deposit. The remittance advices are sent from the mailroom to the accounts receivable department and used to update the accounts receivable file. Finally, at the end of the day, the sales department prepares the journal vouchers stating the total effects of the day's transactions. These vouchers are sent to the accounts receivable department. Due to lack of personnel, the accounts receivable department also acts as the general ledger department. The vouchers are reconciled and recorded in the general ledger's control accounts. Expenditure System Top Notch's purchase transactions are initiated when its inventory level for a certain item falls below the designated reorder point. This is electronically monitored through Top Notch's Inventory Update Program linked directly to the Inventory File and housed within the Inventory Control Department's systems. Once an item falls below the reorder point, an open requisition file is automatically created in addition to a purchase requisition. A valid vendor file is used both to retrieve stored vendor information as well as to check that items are being ordered through a preapproved vendor that the company has done business with in the past. The purchase requisition is made available to the clerks in the Inventory Control department via the computer terminal. A copy is sent to the Purchasing department terminal for further processing. Upon receipt of the requisition, the purchasing department uses the requisition to prepare five copies of the purchase order (PO). One copy is entered into the system and kept on file. The second copy is sent electronically to the computer terminal in the receiving department. The third copy is sent to the terminal in the accounts payable department. The fourth copy is sent to the inventory control department's terminal. The final copy is sent to the vendor and acts as actual placement of the order. Upon receipt of the PO, the inventory control department's requisition update program automatically brings up the open requisition file and closes it out. In addition, the program automatically creates a pending open Purchases file. Shortly after receiving the PO, the vendor sends out both the goods and a packing slip to Top Notch's receiving department. The receiving department uses both the purchase order and the packing slip to physically inspect the condition of the goods and check that both the type and quantity received are correct. After the receiving clerk has successfully done this, she is then responsible for creating three copies of a receiving report. One copy is entered into the system via the terminal for filing purposes. The second copy is sent to accounts payable for reconciliation. The third copy is sent to the inventory control department. When the Inventory Control department electronically obtains the receiving report, the system's Purchase Update Program automatically pulls up the pending open Purchases file and closes it out. In addition, the event triggers the automatic updating of the inventory files by posting the entries to the Inventory file. In the meantime, the accounts payable department receives the PO and receiving report from other areas of the company. Upon the arrival of the vendor invoice, a department clerk manually reconciles all the three documents to make sure that the information matches up correctly, and then proceeds to update the Accounts Payable file. Finally, at the end of each day the inventory control department and the accounts payable department create an Inventory Summary and A/P journal voucher respectively to total the effects of the day's transactions. These are both sent electronically to the joint Accounts Receivable/General Ledger department where they are reconciled against one another and posted to their specific control accounts within the general ledger file. Requirements 1. Discuss clearly and in detail at least ten critical internal control weaknesses in Top Notch's revenue and expenditure systems. Explain clearly and in detail your recommendations for mitigating these weaknesses. (20 points) 2. Use a flowchart program to draw the revised document flowcharts that resolve the internal control weaknesses that you have identified in Top Notch's revenue and expenditure systems. (30 points) NOTE: I will provide you with hard copies of the original document flowcharts described in this project. You are required to draw the revised document flowcharts for the revenue and expenditure systems which incorporate your recommendations for mitigating the identified internal control weaknesses. Your revised document flowcharts should be significantly different from the original document flowcharts. You must type and present your work in a professional manner. You should not talk to other students in the class about this project to ensure that your work is not similar to the work of other students. You will receive zero credit for this project if your work is very similar to the work of one or more students in the class. You can refer to NSU's Academic Misconduct Policy for more information on additional disciplinary actions. Each student should submit only one copy of the completed work for evaluation at the start of class on April 23
