B. Internal Control Evaluation

At times, you may lack adequate internal controls leading to errors or misstatements in financial statements, which can mislead stakeholders and investors. Without internal controls, there is a higher risk of employees misappropriating assets or engaging in fraudulent activities. This highlights the importance of having robust internal controls in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting.

We assess your internal control systems to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of your operating procedures. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations to strengthen your company and improve profitability by addressing any inefficiencies or ineffectiveness in your operating procedures.

Here's how we can assist you:

  • Document policies and procedures and ensure they are accessible to all employees. The documented policies and procedures provide day-to-day guidance to your staff and ensure continuity of duties in the event of employee absences or turnover.
  • Implement segregation of duties by dividing responsibilities among different individuals to reduce the risk of errors or inappropriate actions. Segregation of duties acts as a deterrent to fraud by making collusion more difficult. If one person cannot complete a fraudulent transaction alone, it's less likely to occur. When duties are segregated, it's easier to detect errors or fraud. Reconciliations and reviews by different individuals can uncover discrepancies.
  • Identify the key controls within the process that are designed to prevent or detect errors or fraud.
  • Test the effectiveness of the key controls to ensure they are operating as intended. This may involve reviewing documentation, observing procedures, or performing sample transactions.
  • Evaluate whether the design of the controls is adequate to achieve the control objectives. This includes assessing whether the controls are properly designed to mitigate risks.
  • Document the evaluation process and the findings, including any weaknesses or deficiencies identified in the controls.
  • Provide employees with the necessary training and guidance to ensure they have the knowledge required for their job duties
  • Prepare a report summarizing the evaluation findings and recommendations for improvement, if applicable.
  • Monitor and follow up on the implementation of any recommendations to address identified weaknesses or deficiencies.
