问题:Which function in an organisation is responsible for ensuring that only properly authorised purchases which are necessary for the business are made?
 
  A. Purchasing/procurement
 
  B. Finance/accounts
 
  C. Production/operations
 
  D. Goods inwards
 
  答案:The correct answer is: Purchasing/procurement
 
  Rationale: The purchasing or procurement function is responsible for authorising purchases (and suppliers) and approving. The other functions contribute, however: production, by requisitioning only needed items; goods inwards, by checking that what was purchased is what is in fact received; and accounts, by seeking proper documentary evidence and authorisation for payment.
