ABSTRACT
Traditionally, doing theology or mission work has always been
the domain of men. However, since the times of Jesus, women
have been involved in the spread of the gospel. For centuries,
women have led in many crusades and missions, crossing the
enemy lines and risking their lives to spread the word of God in
many parts of the world. When the Samaritan woman met Jesus
at the well, she ran back to her town and told her neighbors
about Jesus as the Lord. According to the scriptures, women
were the first at the tomb to learn of Jesus' resurrection. In the
book of Acts, Priscilla gives theological directives to Apollos, a
convert who later turned to be a key evangelist.
During the first centuries of the church of Christ, dedicated
widows, women martyrs, as well as virgins, were crucial
supporters and witnesses of the gospel of Christ. In the early
1800s, women missionaries formed CENT societies were every
woman contributed 52 cents every year. The money contributed
helped start hospitals, training, and medical institutions. By
1812, some women were accompanying their husbands in
missions to spread the gospel. In the 19th and 20th centuries,
few names of women in missions, such as Stella Cox, Malla
Moe, Alberta Skinner, and Gertrude Dyck stood out in the male-
dominated field. Throughout history of the universal church,
women have been key players in the spread of the gospel and
the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Question 2:
You have recently taken over the role of the Chief Financial
Officer of GT Gold Chasers Ltd. (“GT Gold”). GT Gold is
junior mining company, that is hoping to hit it big with their
next mining venture. You work out of the head office that is
based out of Vancouver. GT has got a reputation in the industry
for being quick to act, and the management team are known for
pushing the envelope to get results. There has been a high
turnover of people in the last two years, and the current team

8. are mainly new to the job.
During your first few weeks on the job, you have noticed a few
“oddities” around how things in the office run. A couple of
examples of these are as follows:
· Your assistant staff accountant, Stella Monibag helps you with
the preparation of the accounting financial statements for the
company. Stella spends her days reconciling the bank accounts
of the company on a daily basis, which is great, because you
need to know how much cash you have in the company at all
times. Once she has reconciled the accounting general ledger to
the bank statement, she prepares all the cheques for the new
bills that needs to be paid. You have the authority to sign the
cheques, but when you are out of the office, Stella is also able
to sign these cheques or approve payments on your behalf.
Stella keeps the cheque book on her desk so that she doesn’t
lose it easily. Once you have approved a payment, Stella will
access the company accounting system to enter the transactions
in the general ledger.
· Recently the company started to pay some larger invoices to
vendors that you have never really heard of. One the vendors,
SM Consultants Inc. provided printing services, a piece of
furniture and six hours of printing consulting. These were not
expected costs, but you are new to the office, and you figure
that it will probably sort itself out later.
2.a) Please advise provides commentary on any internal control
weaknesses that may exist in GT Gold, based on the above
information (12 marks).
2.b) Please provide three possible solutions to the internal
control weaknesses you have identified above, and how these
will help solve the control weakness (6 marks).
2.c) Provide some commentary and two examples regarding
things you would try to change in the organization to address
internal control risk (hint: refer back to the Fraud Triangle
model discussed during class), and how these changes would
impact the company (4 marks).
Question 3:

9. The following transactions appeared in the accounting records
of GT Gold during the year. Stella comes to your office, and
wants to understand how we should be entering these into the
accounting system for the December 31 year-end. Please
summarize these transactions using the metric below (i.e. show
how the change in Assets, Liabilities or Shareholder Equity
should be shown). Show your calculations.
1.) On January 1, GT purchased a mining machine from Japan.
The machine cost CAN$1,350,000 and had to be shipped to
Vancouver. Once it arrived in Vancouver, there were customs
duties of CAN$50,000. The machine and its unassembled
components were placed on a train and assembled on site. The
cost of the freight was CAN$10,000, and a friendly mechanic
named Mitch assembled the machine components once it arrived
at its destination in Northern BC. GT paid Mitch $2,000. (3
marks)
2.) One week into the machine operating, a cable snapped, and
Mitch had to replace it. Mitch recommended that we get a
better cable that can lift more weight. It would make the
machine way better Mitch said. The new cable cost $12,000. (3
Marks)
3.) GT employs a double declining method depreciation,
assuming a salvage value of 15,000, and 6 year life. Stella
wants to know what to book for depreciation for the year. (8
marks)
4.) On March 31 the next year, a competitor firm to GT offered
to buy the mining machine for $2,000,000. GT took the offer
and sold the machine on the same day. Assume for the purpose
of this point only that accumulated depreciation on this asset at
the time of sale was $200,000. Stella wants to know how to
account for the sale. (8 marks).
5.) GT currently has $2,000,000 in its receivables on its books.

10. Last year Stella booked $100,000 on the AFDA account. This
year, you estimate that 3.5% of receivables are uncollectible.
Stella wants to know what to book this year (4 marks).
6.) After making the adjustment in point 5, Stella finds out that
one of the accounts is uncollectible. They owe GT $65,000.
Please help Stella with the adjustment (2 marks).
