Pre-numbered documents and the balance sheet are both examples of control procedures within an accounting information system. Adequate supervision may also be a control procedure, but it is not the same element as pre-numbered documents. The customer master file and schedule of accounts receivable are examples of data elements within an accounting information system. The journal entry to record the receipt of cash is an example of a processing element within an accounting information system.
