A company with many branch stores has decided to use its best-performing store as a benchmark organization for the purpose of analyzing the accuracy and reliability of branch store financial reporting.
Which one of the following is the most likely measure to be included in a financial benchmark?

  1. High turnover of employees.

  4. High number of suppliers.

Internal benchmarking is the application of best practices in one part of the organization (e.g., a high-performing branch store) to its other parts (other branches). This process requires, among other things, use of quantitative and qualitative measures. A key indicator for financial performance measurement is the amount of bad debt write-offs. A high level of bad debt write-offs could indicate fraud, which would compromise the accuracy and reliability of financial reports. Bad debt write-offs may result from recording fictitious sales.

Very helpful. For a another braindump I paid almost 4 times this and got the same material. Then I came across this site. Can't believe the same set of questions and answers are sold for almost a fraction of a price with much better quality and support.
