Internal control walkthroughs

Before we rely on a process during statement review, we often walk it with the people who run it. Internal control walkthroughs map how invoices are raised, how purchase orders are approved, and how payroll changes are authorised — then note where segregation is thin or evidence disappears.

You receive a concise memo, not a thick risk matrix. We describe what we saw, which control points appear to operate, and which gaps could distort balances. Remediation design remains with management; we can re-walk a cycle after you adjust procedures.

These walkthroughs are especially useful for family companies professionalising before their first lender-required review.
