Requiring that sales commission statements be supported by sales order forms and approved by the sales manager would provide a system of checks and balances to prevent the bookkeeper from fraudulently crediting sales to her brother-in-law. It would also ensure that commissions are only paid on legitimate outside sales, as opposed to house account sales. The other options may also help to prevent fraud and errors, but they may not directly address the specific problem of crediting sales to the bookkeeper's brother-in-law.
