INTERNAL CONTROLS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES – More than just SOX

INTERNAL CONTROLS, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL FOR PROFESSIONALS

99 % of the issues related to internal controls over financial reporting are due to a lack of or noncompliance with documentation. According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Office of the Chief Accountant, accounting documentation, policy, and/or procedures make up 99 percent of ineffective internal controls over financial reporting issues.

This manual is intended as a companion to Accounting and Finance Policies and Procedures also published by John Wiley and Sons. Each is designed to include a discussion of the key issues or barriers to implementing an effective program and offers program and documentation solutions to address the issue.

For example, the Accounting and Finance manual discusses the scope and requirements of a documentation program including the policies and procedures for establishing a policy and procedure program. The Internal Control manual discusses the governance journey from Big G to little g governance, risk, documentation and oversight. The Internal Control Program policies and procedures and, of course, the individual testing guides.

These volumes are intended as companion books and reference. If and/or when a company needs coaching, support or assistance, contact the Policyguru through www.idealpolicy.com.
