OVERVIEW In recent years, the issue of “internal control” has become more significant within organisation. How to strengthen your internal control system? A strong internal control system is one of the best mitigation strategies for managing internal operational and financial risks. Effective internal controls can assist an organisation to protect itself against misuse, loss of its assets and also manage its assets in a more effective and efficient manner. Additionally, putting the right effective internal controls in place can help alert management to potential problems, reducing the probability of unnecessary financial loss due to operational or regulatory non-compliance issues. This workshop aims to convince you of the importance of effective internal controls for financial, operational and compliance reasons with a practical focus to enable you to apply effective control practices at your workplace. Attending this 2-day instructor-led training programme will equip you with relevant risks and controls knowledge to enable you to identify control weaknesses, as well as implement effective control activities for the common core business processes (namely procurement, payment, revenue, receipts, inventory and fixed asset management ) found in a typical organisation. You will also learn to develop your own Internal Controls Checklists to evaluate internal control practices currently implemented in your organisation.
