a.required segregation of duties
b.use sequentially numbered documents
c.compare the difference analysis between actual results and budget.
ANSWER.
c. Compare the difference analysis between actual results and budget.
Explanation.
a. Segregation of Duties
One of the major concepts in Internal Control is Segregation of duties. It ensures fraud detection and prevention as the duties are separated amongst employees. If an employee commits a mistake or fraud, he easily gets caught by others.
b.Sequentially Numbered Documents.
If the documents are sequentially or serially numbered, there is a very high probability of noticing any missing document, whether intentional and unintentional. Thus, it is also a part of Internal Control.
c. Comparison between actual results and budget.
It is an activity of Budgetary Control and Variance Analysis. Internal Control is not a related topic for this.
So, the answer is c. Compare the difference analysis between actual results and budget.
