8. A general journal is used to record nonrecurring and infrequent transactions.
gj g j g j g j g j g j g j g j g j g j




Oftentimes, general journals are replaced with a journal voucher system. The gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj journal voucher is used to record a single nonrecurring and infrequent
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj transaction, and it is used as a special source document for the transaction. gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




The total of journal vouchers processed is equivalent to the general journal.

10. A trail that allows the auditor to begin with a summary total found on the financial
gj gj gj gj jg jg gj jg gj gj gj jg gj jg gj




gj statements and track it back to the individual transactions that make gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




up this total. Conversely, an auditor should be able to track transactions to their final
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj impact on the financial statements. gj gj gj gj

14. The digital audit trail, like the paper trail, allows us to trace transactions from the
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj financial statement balance back to the actual transaction so we may: (1)
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj compare balances, (2) perform reconciliations, (3) select and trace samples of
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj entries, and (4) identify, pull, and verify specific transactions.

15. Cardinality reflects normal business rules as well as organizational policy. For
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj instance, the 1:1 cardinality in the first example in Figure 2-16 suggests that each
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




salesperson in the organization is assigned one automobile. If instead
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj g j the

gj organization’s policy were to assign a single automobile to one or more gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj salespeople that share it, this policy would be reflected by a 1:M relationship.
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




16. Entity relationship diagrams represent the relationship between entities
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj (resources, events, and agents) in a system. Dataflow diagrams represent the
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj logical elements (i.e. what is being done) of a system by illustrating processes,
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj data sources, data flows, and entities. System flowcharts represent the physical
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj elements being used (i.e., how the tasks are being conducted) by illustrating the
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj relationship between input sources, program, and output products. System
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj flowcharts can also represent both the logical and physical elements of manual
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj systems and also illustrate the preparation and handling of documents.
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




17. Cardinality refers to the numerical mapping between entity instances, and it is a
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




matter of organization policy. The relationship can be one-to-one, onetomany, or
gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj gj




gj many-to-many.
