I see your point, Madalyn. Option D does make sense in terms of efficiency and accuracy in record-keeping.

I disagree, I believe option D is the best choice as it combines related duties of maintaining inventory records and accounts receivable ledger.

I think option A is acceptable because it separates the duties of maintaining accounts receivable and receiving cash payments.

Option A is definitely a no-go. Separating the duties of maintaining the accounts receivable ledger and receiving cash payments is a basic internal control principle.
