Automated Transportation, Inc. is a medium-sized manufacturer of remote-controlled cars, boats, and drones. The company was established five years ago when two brothers decided to build and sell remote control cars to enthusiasts. As the company grew, they expanded their product offerings to include remote control cars, boats, and drones. The brothers serve as the president and CEO of the company, and they now have over 70 employees. They have two key customer groups, hobbyists and businesses interested in incorporating drones into their business process and supply chain. These two customer bases provide a variety of opportunities for growth. Management values internal control, but since they are busy running the company they have employed accounting personnel to help design the company’s processes, policies, and internal controls: The company is not required to have a report on internal controls and external auditors are not required to attest to the company’s internal controls. However, the owners want to be sure the company employees are designing and following policies that will help them maintain efficient and effective operations. The owners are also very data-driven and make many of their business decisions only after considering the data collected and analyzed.
