Segregation of duties
Implement segregation of duties so that duties are divided or segregated among different people to reduce the risk of error or inappropriate actions. No one person has control over all aspects of any financial transaction.
A trained outside professional evaluates your company’s operations to make sure the right controls are in place, protecting your resources and your business from employee theft and costly mistakes.
