Principles of Internal Control | How it Works | Example | Establishment of responsibility | Giving one person a specific duty | A receiving clerk has to check in all the orders off of the delivery truck. | Segregation of duties | The work of one person should be reliable. | A ceo has to approve all transactions at the end of the day. | Documentation procedures | Documentation of events that have occurred. | Working in retail, managers have to keep track of all
the counts in their department, should one come up missing. | Physical, mechanical, and electronic controls | Safe guarding your assets. | The main branch of the bank stores all the employees’ information in the vault. | Independent internal verification | Involves the review, comparison, and reconciliation of data prepared by one or more employees. | An exemption came up on the report and was reported to the manager on duty right away. | Other controls | Employee bonding and assets to the company. | One good thing about this job is its friendly atmosphere and it also offers 3 sick days per year. |
Principles of Cash Management | How it Works | Example | Invest idle cash | Excess cash that has to be invested. | Having extra cash at the end of the year can help with next year’s funding since it will cost more. | Plan the timing of major expenditures | Outside finances | Our school hopes to establish more funds with adding more propositions. | Delay payment of liabilities | Having payments paid in a grace period. | My doctor’s office is billing me for my visit from last year, and is now charging interest because it was not paid in 30 days. | Keep inventory levels low | Reducing inventory to conserve space. | My business has decided to cut back on some of its clothing apparel, due to just not having any room in our building. | Increase the speed of collection on receivables | Offering customers a discount for paying bills early. | Paying off your bill early will reduce your payment by 50 percent. |
