Solution

The best control to mitigate the risk of accepting short deliveries as full deliveries in the receiving of goods function is option b. A goods received clerk checks the quantity and description of goods delivered against the purchase order and customer delivery note.

Here's why:

a. A goods received clerk signing the supplier delivery note only acknowledges that a delivery has been made, but it does not ensure that the correct quantity has been delivered.

b. By checking the quantity and description of goods delivered against the purchase order and customer delivery note, the goods received clerk can verify that the correct quantity has been delivered. This directly addresses the risk of accepting short deliveries.

c. Having a separate designated goods received section which is physically secured and access controlled can help prevent theft or loss of goods, but it does not address the risk of accepting short deliveries.

d. Performing a superficial test of the condition of the goods delivered can help identify damaged goods, but it does not ensure that the correct quantity has been delivered.
