Effect: By not reviewing and approving journal entries, incorrect or fraudulent entries could be posted. By not documenting and approving pay rate, the Organization could be paying employee improper amount. By not approving timesheets, the Organization could be paying employees the improper amount for hours worked. Failure to properly maintain records for payroll expenditures could cause the funding agency to reject future fund requests.
