BACKGROUNDINFORMATION FOR ALL CASE SCENARIOS<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns= "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Crystal Smith had been the Director of the FinanceDepartment of Junction

Falls, USA, for nearly eight years. On a recenttrip to Florida, she visited her

sister and decided that she would like a change ofscenery. Crystal interviewed

for several jobs and accepted an accountingposition in the Finance Department

of a large Florida city. Her replacement inJunction Falls is Joe Metros. Joe, who

had been the Deputy Director of the FinanceDepartment in a nearby town for the

past five years, is very pleased with this newposition because it represents a

promotion.

A reporter from the Junction Falls DailyObserver interviewed Joe for a feature

article in the business section. Joe talked abouthis family and the many

civic activities that he supported, bothfinancially and by volunteering his time.

He also discussed his vision for the future of theFinance Department and identified

a number of short-term and long-term goals.Initially, Joe wants to implement

a number of changes designed to improve theefficiency and effectiveness of

departmental operations. He plans to eliminate anumber of accounts that are

rarely used. He also hopes that financialinformation can be provided more quickly

when requested by citizens or other city agencies.He notes that prompt responses

should increase public confidence in the FinanceDepartment. Joe is especially

concerned about the extent of employee turnover.Five of the seven department

employees have held their current positions lessthan one year, and training costs

can be rather significant. Joe has been told thatthe previous Director, Crystal

Smith, was very controlling and task-oriented, andthat this may have caused

employees to seek employment elsewhere.

Joe notes that the city does not have an internalaudit staff. However, the

local accounting firm of Watson & Watson, LLPhas audited the city%u2019s Comprehensive

Annual Financial Report for each of the past 13years. The city has been

growing steadily for the past several decades andcurrently has a population just

over 73,000. Last year, Junction Falls collectedover $89 million in gross operating

revenues. In addition to Joe, the FinanceDepartment includes the following

personnel (see Figure 1):

Scenario #3

In an attempt to discover new areas where costsavings might be achieved,

Joe has spent much of his spare time examining thefiles containing the Junction

Falls RFPs (Requests for Proposal). Joe concludesthat most low bidders are

awarded a contract. Occasionally, however, the lowbid is not accepted. For example,

because the low bidder was notorious fordelivering spoiled merchandise,

they did not get the contract. Instead, the LoneStar Farm Patch was awarded

the bid to supply fruits and vegetables to theJunction Falls Jail. Joe notes that

most files contain several bids, some as many as adozen. Joe finds one file (to

supply computers to certain city offices) thatcontains only a solitary bid from

Able Computers. Joe asks Marsee, who prepares allspecs for fixed asset RFPs

and approves all contracts, what caused such apoor response from potential suppliers.

Marsee points out to Joe that the RFP specifiedthat supplier personnel

must be able to respond to a city call formaintenance, upgrades, or repairs within

30 minutes. She suggests that perhaps manysuppliers were not willing to guarantee

such a prompt response time.

In preparation for the upcoming annual audit, BillWatson, the external auditor,

asked Marsee to provide him with a list of allfixed assets, including the inventory

identification number, date of purchase, cost, andcurrent location of each

item on the list. After a week, Marsee still hasnot printed out the list for the

auditor. The audit starts in two weeks. When askedabout the delay, Marsee says

that she has been so busy that she %u201Chas nothad time to think about any new

projects.%u201D Marsee is very busy, and oftenarrives very early for work and leaves

the office rather late at night.

On Monday during lunchtime Bob receives a phonecall from Able Computers,

asking whether Able%u2019s last request forpayment has been processed. Since Marsee

is unavailable to respond to this query, Bob callsthe city office that was to have

received the computers and learns that no suchdelivery from Able Computers

has been received.

If you could show the solution process, I would reallyappreciate it.
