Determine the logical sequence of this problem-solving process:\n[1] Management implemented a dual-signatory verification protocol for all fund transfers.\n[2] An unexplained variance of fifty thousand pesos was uncovered in the monthly reconciliation statement.\n[3] Subsequent monthly audits confirmed zero recurring discrepancies in ledger balances.\n[4] The internal audit team traced the variance to an unmonitored electronic payment gateway.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 2 - 4 - 1 - 3

  1. Step 1: Problem detection: variance uncovered (2). Step 2. Root cause analysis: traced to payment gateway (4). Step 3. Corrective control: dual-signatory protocol implemented (1). Step 4. Verification: zero recurring discrepancies (3). Answer: 2 - 4 - 1 - 3. Why not the others: Root cause analysis (4) must precede implementing the solution (1).
