You are reviewing the audit workpapers containing a narrative description of Overland Inc.s factory payroll system. A portion of that narrative is as follows:
Factory employees punch time clock cards each day when entering or leaving the shop At the end of each week, the timekeeping department collects the time cards and prepares duplicate batch-control slips by department, showing total hours and number of employees. The time cards and original batch-control slips are sent to the payroll accounting section. The second copies of the batclxontrol slips are filed by date.
In the payroll accounting section, payroll transaction cards are keypunched from the information on the time cards, and a batch total card for each batch is keypunched from the batch-control slip. The time cards and batch-control slips then are filed by batch for possible reference. The payroll transaction cards and batch total card are sent to data processing where they are sorted by employee number within each batch. Each batch is edited by a computer program that checks the validity of employee number against a master employee tape file, and the total hours and number of employees against the batch total card. A detail printout by batch and employee number is produced that indicates batches that do not balance and invalid employee numbers. This printout is returned to payroll accounting for resolution of all differences.
