Questions to Ask Yourself
Identify key accounting and operational functions and ensure that a system of checks and balances exists to identify errors or willful omissions.
Start with key accounting functions and follow a transaction from inception to conclusion to document the flow of accounting information through the Company.
That depends on the frequency of the control and whether it is automated or manual. The larger the volume and more manual the process, the more often you would need to test the controls.
