QUESTION 1
CASE STUDY
You are the security manager of a large and well-known
company which supplies vehicle parts to most car part depots as
well as directly to the public. The company where you are
employed is suffering severe losses as a result of stock
shrinkage.
You decide to recommend to your client that he purchase an
electronic marking system that would be activated should
vehicle parts and accessories be removed unlawfully from the
premises. The cost of the marking system is R200 000.
Furthermore, laptop computers at the head office of your client’s
organisation are repeatedly being stolen. During the last
financial year, 10 laptops were reported stolen. You suspect that
some of the staff members have been taking their office laptops
to give to their own children, who are university students.
These staff members commit fraud in reporting their laptops as
stolen. Your client’s company has 50 laptops. The thefts and
fraudulent reports of alleged thefts of laptops by personnel
members are converted into an annual loss figure. If 10 laptops
costing R10 000 each are stolen annually, the annual direct loss
, expectancy (ALE) is R100 000 per annum. (In this example, we
exclude indirect losses, such as the loss of information and the
resultant loss of production.)
With specific reference to the new marking system for the
vehicle spare parts, accessories, and laptops, conduct and
formulate an in-depth discussion on five aspects that you will
have to investigate in the case study above, to calculate all the
direct and indirect costs associated with purchasing the new
system.
These steps must be explained in detail, as well as making use of
various Tables and examples to illustrate your understanding of
these aspects. You are also required to calculate the total costs
associated with the marking system. Your company is operating
on a 30% ROI principle. Use imaginary amounts for the
purposes of this activity.
