Since the hospital has been open it has hit some hardships, including multiple problems within their financial department. They have been experiencing a huge turnover rate in the financial department due to their Administrator Daniel only working with the clinic for a few months and not having much exposure. Daniel usually reviews the financial statements but instead he allowed a temp that just started two weeks review the statements. In addition, they used a manual system to record their financial statements by hand. After completing the operating end year budget and the operating projected budget, their financial analyst, Sara noticed that there was an error. For the projected budget the entry was off by $180,000.00. This would mean that the supply budget was under budgeted significantly for the year.
