Weakness & Risk: A weak control environment exists when there are no policies and procedures in place ito paperwork and segregation of duties concerning the picking and dispatching of goods. Picking slips, authorizations signatures, DN's and proper gate control should exist to mitigate the risks. If not they will face the risk of theft, especially once the goods leave the premises (no gate control) and have no record of the customer actually receiving the goods (signature on DN) which can lead to fraudulent claims by the customer
