If a company has no control process established, then what is the most common reason for this?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThis is primarily due to resources as an effective control environment is difficult to set up with limited resources. And often we see that a high number of the critical\u202fbusiness processes are highly dependent on manual controls. Companies with no controls often have a perception of no risks and\/or no unmitigated risks.\u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nWhat are the typical triggers for establishing internal control processes in those companies that previously have not had such?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThis is often triggered by an event such as e.g. fraud or loss of assets. This triggers the need for a risk assessment and rethinking of the internal controls. However, this often results in additional manual controls with follow-up on transactions etc. and the first exercise does not necessarily encompass all business processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\nEstablishing a control environment; which stakeholders are important in the process and why?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThis needs to be driven by key people across the business. Top management is key for ensuring management buy-in, however, identifying and handling risks needs involvement of key persons from different parts of the business to get the right end-to-end processes. The CFO is not the only go-to person as we have often seen \u2013 because then all internal controls will end up in the Finance department. And this will shift the balance towards primarily detective controls and not preventive controls.\u202f<\/p>\n
\n\nEstablishing a control process; many are asked to make a business case – what are the key points to look for in such?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSetting up a business case for internal controls will often only show additional costs, however, the key benefits is to mitigate the risks and by this mitigation reduce the impact and\/or consequences if these risks should be materialized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nWhat is typically overseen when establishing the company\u2019s control library and how can you approve the process?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOften segregation of duties and access rights are forgotten from the start, and this is unfortunate as these are key preventive controls in all business processes. Another area that is hard to handle is the automated application controls as they are built into the applications and more difficult to identify. And these two topics often result in setting up only manual controls being set up. And the manual controls are more subject to risk of not being performed due to humans performing the controls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nWhich controls do you prioritize and how do you select the most relevant taken into consideration the organizations maturity level?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nI would definitely prioritize segregation of duties and the automated application controls as these will minimize the need for manual controls. And in general, the risk assessment shall set the scene for the focus areas.\u202f <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nIs it important to link the company’s overall risk to the actual controls being processed and why?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nYes, this is key as the internal controls are one of the measures to mitigate the risk.\u202f <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nWhen the control library and the control process is established what are the most commons challenges experienced?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThat is keeping up the good work and performing controls as designed and on time.
