Description: We will look at specific internal control systems and subsystems with the emphasis on business cycles and analytical review techniques to point out “hot zones” that may require additional skepticism or investigation. Subsystems like “Note Preparation”, Financial Statement Preparation, Journal Entries and Accounts Payable Vendor Approval as examples will be discussed with specific controls designed to deter or prevent fraud. As always, risk assessment will be emphasized but the other 4 COSO components will not be ignored.
