SEPARATION OF DUTIES
Transferring people from job to job within the organization is the philosophy at Arcadia Plastics. Management believes that job rotation deters employees from feeling that they are stagnating in their jobs and promotes a better understanding of the company. The computer services personnel typically work for six months as an operator, one year as a systems developer, six months as a database administrator, and one year in systems maintenance. At that point, they are assigned to a permanent position.
Required
Discuss the importance of separation of duties within the information systems department. How can Arcadia Plastics have both job rotation and well-separated duties?
