Introduction
Strategic management is effective to represent the organization resources with strategic level
utilization (Trigeorgis, and Reuer, 2017). HARDA fashion is selling ready to wear dresses to
teenagers. There are twenty outlets of the organization which providing the services to North
Eastern part of USA. Experienced employees are appointed through the organization. It provides
the employees fixed salary which are full time employed. Cashier as well as sales assistants
achieve the wages on basis of hour including commission on sales volume. Unsophisticated
registered procedure is used by the organization for maintaining the financial level transactions.
This paper has the goal to explain the procedures, risks and internal control for revenue cycle.

Six strengths of HARDA system

Strengths are important for the organizations to run the operations more effectively (Salem,
Hasnan, and Osman, 2012). HARDA fashion is working with many numbers of strengths that
enable it to managing transactions of sales. Below discussion will explain the HARDA fashion
six strengths.

 Manager within the organization is liable for analyze the cash, credit cards as well as
cheque sales regarding preparation of daily deposit slips, making the deposits of bank and
filling validated deposit slips.
 Data processing department is functioning to send reports of commission and sales to
management for analysis and review.
 Reconciliation report on daily basis is generated through the Assistant managers.
 Sales invoice is provided to cashier through the salesperson for purpose of order review.
Provides the sales inputs number in system.
 Simple registers of cash are used through the HARDA fashion that based on generated
every volume of sales.

Situational pressures
There is improving cases of fraud regularly seen within the business (Collier, et al., 2015). There
are many number of reasons behind the fraud such as double dealing for earn more amount of
money, inappropriately taking the advantages of business, ineffectively managing the money
related information. In approach of bookkeeping fraud includes the wrong working at clerical
level, any kind of theft, inappropriate information, and inconsistency in records. There are two
kinds of fraud identified through the workers known as the worker and board fraud. HARDA
organization is facing the many kinds of situational pressures which would lead to increase the
number of fraud situations. Below discussion will explain the situational level pressures that
would increase the situations of fraud.

Intense level of pressure

Employees and salesperson within the business faces pressure at high level to meet as well as
cross the performance with many number of targets (Crossan, Mazutis, and Seijts, 2013). The
create manipulating financial thinking with record of sales for favor. Organizations work for
satisfy the managers at supervisor level and seek the effective level of promotions. This supports
to enhance the level of performance that leads to high level incomes which desired through the
every individual to gain. This increases the performance that linked with the high income. It can
lead to force employees within the organization to compel for regulate the activities of fraud.

Compensation of employees tied for financial level performance

Compensation approach that based on the commission utilizes through the HARDA fashion
organization regarding sales reward. Specific number of percentage gained through the
employees every month with completion of sales target and similar level of basic pay.
Compensation plan overall lead to enforce employees to work very hard with improving number
of sales. Sometime, it also leads to generate the situational level pressure for fraud perpetuation
within the business. Employees of sales face high pressure to meet the targets on monthly basis
as well as failure to achieve that lead to eliminate the level of incentives in form of commission.
Manipulating level sales invoices can be attempted for meet the monthly level targets
(Greenhaus, Peng, and Allen, 2012).

Distributed computer system rather than centralized one

In today’s competitive environment of businesses distributed computer system has become
important trend with technical advancement (Laudien, and Daxböck, 2016). Technical level
advancement is blockchain technology, cloud computing, etc. These are important to work
effectively with advancement. Distributed computer system has more advantages compare to the
centralized computer system.

Distributed computer system

Distributed computer system approach is effective to support huge number of computers in many
kinds of locations regarding sharing of similar computer processing abilities. This is important to
work differently in parallel to centralized system. Decentralized computer system involves many
computers that situated at many number of places which are interlinked to use the wireless links.

Businesses are regularly focusing to invest in approach of distributed computer system due to
low amount of cost (Verissimo, and Rodrigues, 2012). It support to reduce the costs of data
sharing as well as networking across businesses through the interconnection of huge amount of
computer which cost at lower level in parallel to big machines.

It is flexible as well as reliable. This support to computer system for interlinks through the use of
internet that support to process data effectively which is situated at separate places. It increases
the power of processing. For instance, machines accumulation regarding computer enable to
improve the processing power as well as increase the capabilities of the system. System
removing from decentralized computer system overall lead to minimize the whole system
processing power (Agrawal, et al., 2015).

This versatile at characteristically and works at cross level over huge number of machines and
scale evenly. This supports the clients to add more number of computers to deal with
complexities. This can be run on each machine with full level of potential and disconnects
system tolls in low burden.

Distributed computer system works at effective level with huge number of control centres which
are broadly spread in many computer systems. This works with the glitch that does not have
impact on entire business network as capabilities of processing are taken over by other available
machines. It helps to quick isolation and repair system that has fault for generating the
distributed data processing effectively in parallel to system of centralized processing (Rajguru,
and Apte, 2012).

Centralized computer systems

Centralized computer system includes the one server which takes care for significance of
processing activities within the operations of businesses. These gain huge numbers of requests
from work station that are less powerful and do not openly perform the work. This includes the
data storage, uses, and applications. There are many advantages as well as boundaries which
reduce organization potentials to adopt them. Challenges are faced through the organizations that
depend on the information processed by server.

There is limited scalability. Entire applications of the single server as well as processing power
taken through the network can scale through the addition of more power of storage regarding

server. This is not linked and cost effective for long time situation. Bandwidth poor level
presents the limitations in huge ways. Organizations that functions with the fluctuating periods of
functions acts as the main server cause challenge. It is very critical to work with concurrent
pressure to users as request high regarding challenges (Jain, Werth, and Browne, 2012).

Conclusions
In the fame of explanations it can be determined that HARDA fashion company strengths lead to
minimize the challenge that occurs at regular level. Many of situational level pressure the
employees to work with the activities of fraud. Organization provides the compensation that
relied on the financial level performance. It generates the pressure for employees to work in high
level of pressure conditions. These can work with the activities of fraud to exceed the limitations
of work. In today’s competitive environment organizations are working with the decentralized
computer system. It overall enables them to improve the level of data privacy. This enables them
to work and pass the information through working on many numbers of machines. It overall
presents the latency low situations. Overall explanation presents that decentralized computer
system has more advantages for the businesses compare to the centralized computer system.
