Specialist service

Controls that fit your size, written down and tested.

Controls across sales, purchasing, treasury, inventory and payroll, assessed, documented and tightened.

Overview

A small business cannot separate every duty. It can decide which risks it accepts and which it controls, and write that down. We walk each cycle with the people who run it and recommend changes that fit.

What it covers
  1. Process walkthroughs

    Sales to cash, purchase to pay, payroll, inventory and treasury, each traced end to end with the staff who perform them.

  2. Segregation of duties in a small team

    Where one person has to do two things that should be separated, a second person reviews the result.

  3. Cash and treasury controls

    Bank access, payment approvals, signing limits and the reconciliation that closes the loop.

  4. Inventory and purchasing

    Receiving, counts, write-offs and approvals, with reports that show when counts and records stop agreeing.

  5. Written procedures

    One document per cycle, short enough that a new hire will read it and specific enough that an auditor can test against it.

  6. Follow-up review

    A return visit after implementation to confirm the controls are operating, not just designed.
