Levon  Helm was a kind of one-man mortgage broker. He would drive around  Ten-nessee looking for homes that had second mortgages, and if the  criteria were favor-able, he would offer to buy the second mortgage for  cash on the barrelhead. Helm bought low and sold high, making sizable  profits. Being a small operation, he employed one person, Cindy  Patterson, who did all his bookkeeping. Patterson was an old family  friend, and he trusted her so implicitly that he never checked up on the  led-gers or the bank reconciliations. At some point, Patterson started  borrowing from the business and concealing her transactions by booking  phony expenses. She intended to pay it back someday, but she got used  to the extra cash and couldnt stop.

The company went bankrupt, Patterson did some jail time,  and Helm lost everything.Requirements1. What was the key control  weakness in this case?2.
