Answer:Principle enforced by Karen is known as the segregation of responsibilities.

Explanation:

The intent this of control is to prevent fraud. If a primary activity is performed by all the individuals, then there are large possibilities of confidential information getting leaking which could further lead to a lose of the administration.

If an activity is distributed into multiple tasks which are further performed by different group of individual, then the task will be performed more expeditiously.
