2. Systems Development Life Cycle (20 marks)

Woolworths customer shocked to discover new surveillance at self-service check out

Woolworths is trailing a new system of surveillance to crack down on theft at self-service check

outs. Customers were surprised to see themselves appear in an inconspicuous new screen in the

corner of the store's self-serve checkouts.

One customer took to social media after noticing a live recording of his own face on the check-out

screen while buying his groceries at one of the supermarket's stores.

"For how long has Woolworths been filming me while using self-checkouts?" Branwell Travers said on

Twitter.

Woolworths says the surveillance is a new security measure aimed at cracking down on those doing the

wrong thing while shopping.

Woolworths says the image is a digital reection of the customer on the screen and is not recorded or

stored.

The cameras cannot view the PIN pad and the cameras are compliant with payment and security

standards.

The surveillance is the latest in the ongoing attempts by supermarkets to clamp down on theft at

self- service check-outs.

Earlier in the year, Woolworths introduced AI-enabled scales that automatically detect the type of

fruit or vegetable being weighed to prevent people from scanning fruit and vegetables as dierent

items.

Last year, Coles also attempted to combat self-service checkout theft by installing tablet-sized

cameras on top of its self-service checkouts in up to a dozen supermarkets across Victoria.

The cameras are installed directly above the self-service monitor, with every move made at the

checkout broadcast back to the shopper and recorded on file.

• dentify the stages of system development (5 marks) where the introduction of self- service checkout cameras would have been considered.

Investigation - finding out the problem at the self-service check outs

Analysis – identify the ethical issues of this implementation

Design - security to be designed in a particular way (e.g. ensure no racial bias)

Implementation - scales being used to detect the items & surveillance

Maintenace and review - systems improvement

1. Explain the likely discussion at each stage (15 marks).

--> recommendation: aim for 3 points under each of the 5 stages for 15 marks

Investigation

- Understand the problem: theft at the self-serve checkouts; customers are able to weigh

items as things that they aren’t; can’t identify the person’s identity (I.e. no sales person)

- Feasibility analysis – e.g. economic: how much to spend on this

Analysis

_- What the current system does

• Specify what the new system will do and ensure it prevents current issues/risks_

Design

_- Needs to be designed within constraints e.g. legal aspect (ID etc)

• Finding the technology that supports the design
• Ensuring new system doesn’t affect customer service process_

Implementation

_- What type of conversion: direct or parallel --> recommendation

• Ensure customers are aware of the changes
• System needs to be tested_

Maintenance and review

- Addressing concerns that customers have with the new system (e.g. sign on doors

alerting customers to cameras)

_- Continuous improvement to security

• Check levels of stolen goods and see if new system is addressing the issues it was designed for
• Brand scrutiny - complaint through receipt instead of Twitter_ 2. Controls (20 Marks)

Explain the risks, controls and control classification that arise in the following case:

• An employee uses Facebook messenger and Instagram DMs in his work computer. These

bypass anti-virus and spam software, and allow the employee to hide their identity

• An office manager’s laptop was stolen during his commute to work. The laptop contained

bank account details and addresses of 20,000 clients

• An intern sold his phone on Gumtree to aord groceries during a global pandemic. The

mobile phone contained information about the business, such as log in information and a

history of emails.

• A city-wide power blackout caused damage to a server which resulted in the loss of half of

its data.

• A sales manager logged in 70 hours of work on Monday 10 th^ June and resulted on their

pay tripling on this fortnight compared to other fortnights.

3. Expenditure Cycle (20 marks) Read the AB-Hi Fi Expenditure cycle case study and answer the following two questions:

AB Hi-Fi expenditure cycle AB Hi-Fi is a multi-store retail business that sells products such as DVDs, CDs, mp players, game consoles and TVs. AB Hi-Fi has a central warehouse that is located in Melbourne. All products purchased by the business are delivered to this central warehouse. The narrative of the AB Hi-Fi expenditure cycle follows. Process 1.0 Determine demand for goods Purchase officers at AB Hi-Fi monitor stock levels via the computer. The computer has predefined reorder points and reorder quantities for each inventory item. When stock levels for a particular item drop down to this reorder point a purchase requisition is automatically generated by the computer and forwarded via email to the purchase officer responsible for these items. The purchase officer is responsible for reviewing sales trends for this item, and deciding whether to reorder the goods listed on the purchase requisition. The purchase officer can cancel the order if they feel that the goods are not worth reordering, amend the purchase requisition if they think that the quantity is too high or too low, or accept the requisition without change. Once the purchase officer has made a decision about the purchase requisition they log on to the computer and open the purchase requisition. They make any changes required to the quantities and products on the purchase requisition, and then mark the requisition as complete by ticking on a check box. The completed purchase requisition is then sent via email to the purchasing manager for review. The purchasing manager logs on to the computer and opens the purchase requisition. The purchasing manager is offered a choice of two tick boxes for each open purchase requisition. If the manager selects the ‘reject’ box the purchase requisition is cancelled and no further action is taken. If the purchasing manager selects the ‘accept’ box an email is sent to the purchase officer informing them that the purchase requisition has been approved. Process 2.0 Order goods When the purchase officer receives the approved purchase requisition email they log on to the computer and request a list of approved suppliers for each of the items on the approved requisition. The purchase officer sends an electronic copy of the purchase requisition via email to each of the approved suppliers, requesting quotes for product and delivery costs, and an estimated delivery date. When all the quotes have been received the purchase officer decides which supplier to place the order with. The purchase officer logs on to the computer and opens the relevant

purchase requisition. They

select the option to create a purchase order by ticking on a check box. The computer requests input of a valid supplier number then uses the supplier data and the purchase requisition data to produce a purchase order. The purchase order is sent via email to the supplier, the purchase officer and the warehouse officer responsible for these products. Process 3.0 Receive goods As part of their trading agreement with AB Hi-Fi, all suppliers are required to provide a delivery docket that lists the items they are delivering, the number of cartons being delivered and the purchase order number the delivery relates to. On arrival at the warehouse the delivery driver hands the warehouse officer two copies of the delivery docket. If there is no purchase order number included on the delivery docket, the warehouse officer will refuse to take delivery of the items. The warehouse officer enters the purchase order number from the delivery docket into the computer. The computer extracts the purchase order status from the purchase order data store. If the purchase order number is invalid, or the status of the purchase order is ‘closed’, the computer will display an error message, and the warehouse officer will refuse to take delivery of the items. If the purchase order number is valid, the computer will display a message indicating that it is OK to accept a delivery for this purchase order, and asking if the warehouse officer would like to print a goods received report for the purchase order. The warehouse officer requests the computer to print the goods received report. The computer retrieves a list of the items ordered from the purchase order data store, and the supplier details from the supplier data store. The computer prints the goods received report on a printer in the office of the warehouse officer. The warehouse officer counts the number of cartons, and verifies the count against the delivery docket. Once the warehouse officer has checked that the number of cartons delivered matches the number of cartons on the delivery docket the warehouse officer signs the first copy of the delivery docket and gives the signed delivery docket to the delivery driver. The warehouse officer opens the cartons and checks and counts the items delivered, and writes the quantity of each item on the printed goods received report. Some orders are quite large, so individual boxes are not always opened and counted; in this case, the warehouse officer relies on the external label stuck to the outside of the carton. Once all the items are counted and checked the warehouse officer dates and signs the goods received report. The warehouse officer staples the completed goods received report to the second copy of the delivery docket then puts the completed goods received reports in a tray on the desk of the goods receiving officer. Each morning the goods receiving officer retrieves the previous day’s completed goods received reports from the tray on their desk. The goods receiving officer inputs the purchase order number from the goods received report into the computer. The computer retrieves and displays the purchase order data, without the item quantities. The goods receiving officer works through line by line and inputs the quantities received for each item from the goods received report. Once the goods receiving officer has accounted for all the items on the goods received report they tick a box on the computer screen to indicate that the goods received report input is complete. The computer will update the purchase order and inventory data stores with the goods received information and then display a message confirming the completion. The goods receiving officer dates and signs the goods received report, and then sends the completed input goods received report to the accounts payable officer. The goods receiving officer processes each completed goods received report in the tray in the same way. The accounts payable officer receives the completed input goods receiving report from the warehouse officer. The goods receiving report is filed in an awaiting invoice folder.

Process 4.0 Pay for goods

As part of their trading agreement with AB Hi-Fi all suppliers are required to provide the related purchase order number on their invoice. When the accounts payable officer receives an invoice from a supplier they enter the purchase order number from the invoice into the computer. The computer extracts the purchase order status from the purchase order data store. If the purchase order number is invalid, or the status of the purchase order is ‘paid’, the computer will display an error message. If the purchase order number is valid and unpaid the computer will display a message indicating that it is OK to make a payment against this purchase order, and asking if the accounts payable officer would like to print the purchase order. The accounts payable officer requests the computer to print the purchase order. The computer retrieves details of the items ordered from the purchase order data store and the supplier details from the supplier data store. The computer prints the purchase order on a printer in the office of the accounts payable officer. The accounts payable officer retrieves the relevant goods receiving report from the awaiting invoice folder. The accounts payable officer attaches the goods receiving report to the purchase order report and the invoice, then checks to identify if there are any quantity discrepancies between the three documents. If any quantity discrepancies are identified, the accounts payable officer sends the reports to the warehouse supervisor. If no quantity discrepancies are identified, the accounts payable officer inputs the purchase order number into the computer and requests a payment screen. The computer displays a payment screen containing the purchase order details. The accounts payable officer enters the invoice data (item quantity and price). The computer extracts the purchase order price from the purchase order data store and compares the invoice price with the purchase order price. If there is a price variation of more than 5 per cent, the computer displays a price variation message and routes the payment data to the accounts payable supervisor for approval. If the invoice price is within 5 per cent of the purchase order price, the computer displays a payment accepted message. The computer calculates the payment due date based on details held in the supplier data store, records the invoice in the accounts payable data store, and updates the purchase order and general ledger data stores. The accounts payable officer files the goods receiving report, purchase order and invoice documents in an awaiting payment folder. At the end of each week the computer extracts details of payments due from the accounts payable data store and produces a payments file which is forwarded electronically to AB Hi-Fi’s bank. The bank transfers money from AB Hi-Fi’s bank account to the relevant suppliers in accordance with the details in the payments file. After the payments file has been successfully transferred to the bank, the computer prints a report of payments made on the central printer, then updates the accounts payable and general ledger data stores. The accounts payable officer collects the printed report of payments made and retrieves the appropriate documentation from the awaiting payment folder. The accounts payable officer matches documents in the awaiting payment folder with the payments listed on the payments made report. Matched sets of documents are attached to the payments made report, then filed in a paid folder.

Table 10.3 (in the book) identifies two risks typically encountered when determining demand. (a) Summarise the 4 stages of the expenditure cycle and explain each stage based on the case. (8 marks) Determine the demand for goods

• Reorder points and quantities for each inventory point that’s predefined on the computer: purchase requisition automatically created once stock falls below this point (--> changes in demand)
• Purchase: automatically generated and adjustments for the quantity --> fluctuates with demand Ordering the goods
• Reorder points (see point 1 above)
• Once purchase requisition approved, they receive a vendor list --> send purchase req to approved vendors and request quotes for the goods and estimated timelines
• Once supplier is chosen, it Is approved and linked to supplier number Receiving the goods
• Agreement with suppliers that supplier must provide a delivery docket along with quantity and items listed
• Warehouse manager can’t accept delivery without the delivery docket & if it doesn’t match the computer system Paying for the goods
• Suppliers must supply the purchase order on the invoice to ensure A/P officer and review both and confirm it was received --> make payment
• A/P officer will enter invoice details into the computer and extract price and match to other documents to ensure its correct. Variance greater than 5% = computer alert. Must be approved by the supervisor. (b)Analyze the degree of exposure (low, medium or high) to each of these risks for the determine demand process at AB Hi-Fi. (8 marks)

Collection of requests

Creation of PR

(c) Determine how many of the common controls described in table 10.3 are present in the determine demand process at AB Hi-Fi. (4 marks)

4. Ethics (20 marks)

Section E: Ethics (20 Marks) – Answer in the spaces provided (2018, S1)

Australia's Commonwealth Bank lost data of 20m accounts

Australia's Commonwealth Bank has admitted losing the bank records of almost 20 million people.

Names, addresses, account numbers and statements were stored on two magnetic tapes which were

meant to be destroyed by a subcontractor in 2016. But despite not receiving evidence the tapes had

actually been destroyed, the bank did not tell customers there was a potential problem. The breach is the

latest scandal involving Australia's largest lender. In a filing to the Australian Stock Exchange, the bank

said it could not confirm that the tapes containing 15 years of data had been destroyed securely. But it

said "an independent forensic investigation" by accounting firm KPMG had "determined the most likely

scenario was the tapes had been disposed of." It added "the tapes did not contain passwords, PINs or

other data which could be used to enable account fraud". And it stressed there had been no evidence that

customer information had been compromised, with monitoring mechanisms remaining in place.

Buzzfeed first reported news of the lost tapes, claiming they were supposed to be destroyed by Fuji

Xerox after the decommissioning of a data centre.
