The results of the research show that in the transaction authorization section the separation of duties is still not in accordance with COSO theory because there are still trapped functions and responsibilities in the sales and billing sections.

However, in the internal information section between the billing, accounting and finance sections, there is still a need for internal documents, namely payment receipt documents in hardfile and softfile form.
