Most small businesses rely on trust and informal processes.

 

That creates exposure to:

Fraud

Errors

Inefficiencies

Financial loss

 

Our approach is to reduce the opportunity for problems before they occur.

 

What Are Internal Controls

​

Internal controls are structured processes that:

Separate responsibilities

Require approvals

Verify transactions

Monitor activity

 

They reduce risk and improve reliability of financial data.

 

Our Approach

​

Risk Identification

 

Where problems can occur

Where too much control exists in one role

 

Control Design

​

          Practical and scalable:

Segregation of duties

Approval workflows

Disbursement controls

Reconciliation procedures

 

Monitoring

​

Monthly review processes

Exception identification

Ongoing adjustments

 

Key Principle

​

Fraud is driven by opportunity.

Internal controls reduce opportunity.

 

Proactive vs Reactive

​

Reactive approach:

Forensic accounting

Investigations

Legal costs

 

Our approach:

Prevent issues before loss occurs

Improve visibility

Strengthen systems

 

Most financial losses in small businesses occur because basic controls are missing—not because schemes are complex.

 

Our role is to help you put practical controls in place that match your business.
