Finding Text

A fundamental element of internal control is the segregation of certain key duties and responsibilities, such as custody of assets, authorization or approval of transactions, recording or reporting transactions, and execution of transactions. VOICES has a lack of segregation of duties in the accounting area due to the limited number of employees.
