1. Discuss journal entries that would be of interest to investigate the economic value of the entry. For instance, think about the timing, who makes the journal entry, or even patterns that may appear over time that would be of interest to investigate.
List out at least 4 different flagged items that would need to be investigated and explain the concern affiliated with each journal entry. Some general analyses to consider include account analyses, user analyses, and journal entry characteristics analyses. Note, a journal entry can be flagged for multiple concerns.
For example if someone made a large entry to revenue on the last day of the year it would be flagged due to the timing of the journal entry as well as the materiality of the amount made to a revenue account. Think about the process of making a journal entry and the risks associated with the process .
