9 Common Internal Controls You Should Have
by The NonProfit Times on August 26th, 2019

Failure to understand internal control when identifying risks was the reason
major issues come up at nonprofits 40 percent of the time, according to data
from a AICPA Peer Review Program Study. Making sure your accountants and
consultants understand remote monitoring and management (RMM) and internal
controls is vital.

The best practice is to document internal controls so that there can be a
complete risk assessment. The issues of internal controls and risk were
discussed during the recent AICPA Nor-For-Profit industry conference in National
Harbor, Md. The session presenters were Melissa Galasso, CPA, director, audit
professional practices, in the Charlotte, N.C., office of Cherry Bekaert and
Kris Ray, industry technical leader for Plante Moran in Southfield, Mich.

Internal control is designed, implemented and maintained to address identified
business risks that threaten achievement of any of the entity’s objectives that
concern reliability of financial reporting, effectiveness and efficiency of
operations and compliance with laws and regulations.

Internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance that things won’t go
sideways, according to the presenters. The reality is that human judgement can
be faulty and that mitigates the controls, they said.

The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations has an integrated framework for
internal control, the components of which are: Control Environment; Risk
Assessment; Information and Communication; Control Activities; and, Monitoring.

Even the smallest of organizations have internal controls of one form or
another, according to the presenters. Here are controls: Strong tone at the top;
Leadership communicates importance of quality; Accounts reconciled monthly;
Leaders review financial results; Log-in credentials; Limits on check signing;
Physical access to cash, Inventory; Invoices marked paid to avoid double
payment; and, Payroll reviewed by leaders.
