FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a financial control audit?+
It is a focused review of the internal controls protecting your finances — approvals, segregation of duties, reconciliations and payment safeguards — to confirm they prevent error and fraud effectively.
Why does segregation of duties matter?+
When one person can both authorise and record payments, the door to fraud and undetected error is wide open. Separating these duties is one of the cheapest, most effective controls a business can have.
We are a small team — can we still have good controls?+
Yes. Where headcount is limited we design compensating controls, such as owner review of bank statements and dual approval, that give protection without extra staff.
