\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tManagement is responsible for establishing internal controls.\u00a0 In order to maintain effective internal controls, management should:\n
    \n \t
  1. Maintain adequate policies and procedures;<\/li>\n \t
  2. Communicate these policies and procedures; and<\/li>\n \t
  3. Monitor compliance with policies and practices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nResponsibilities of management include, planning, organizing, directing and controlling.\n\nControlling, including monitoring, is a process to ensure what is supposed to be done is being done.\n\nControl activities<\/em> are the policies and procedures, which help ensure that management directives are carried out and include, but are not limited to the following:\n
      \n \t
    • Authorizations<\/b>\u00a0– Transactions must be authorized and executed in accordance with management’s intent.<\/li>\n \t
    • Segregation of Duties<\/b>\u00a0– Segregation of duties is adequate when no one person is in a position to initiate and conceal errors and\/or irregularities in the normal course of their duties.<\/li>\n \t
    • Record Keeping<\/b>\u00a0– Adequate record keeping ensures that assets are properly controlled and transactions are properly recorded as to account, amount and period.<\/li>\n \t
    • Safeguarding<\/b>\u00a0– Limiting access to and controlling the use of assets and records are ways to safeguard those assets and records.<\/li>\n \t
    • Reconciliations<\/b>\u00a0– Reconciliations are independent verifications, which help to ensure that the other four control activities are functioning as intended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRemember, if you are at a staff level position and you know there is a problem, bring it to your management’s attention. If you are at a management level position, and you are aware of a problem, then as management you are responsible for correcting the issue.<\/b>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
