Controls & Efficiencies Improvement

Introduction
Most companies do not rate internal controls as a priority during the early stages of their corporate development due to small scale and the close involvement of owners as managers.
As their businesses grow in size and are established in more locations, the issue of effective internal controls will inevitably gets more management attention. As a business gets bigger and more complex, robust and efficient systems is a prerequisite for good internal controls. A review of your processes and controls can help you ensure that their design addresses your new needs and risks, and also ensures the efficiency and effectiveness of them. Indeed most leading countries’ corporate governance codes now require boards of companies to annually review their controls and processes across financial, operational, and compliance areas to ensure that they are working adequately.
