Political contribution by the company, if a Tax Exemption valid receipt can be provided will validate the contribution.  Contributions to gain tender preference over other tenderers will be a deviation from legislation and indicate management lacks integrity.  See third paragraph regarding risk.

 

 

Deposits in transit that can't not be traced to proof of payment (electronic funds transfer) from customer.

 

 

Both factors, deposits in transit and political contribution would be items that would raise risk, and audit procedures will need to be targeted at these to mitigate the risk.  The political contribution is the more severe risk, as it could be indicative of risk at financial statement level.
