Implementing Compensating Controls to Reduce Risk and Prevent Fraud
Instructor:
Chris Doxey
Product ID: 706021
Training Level: Basic
- Duration: 60 Min
Why Should You Attend:
Segregation of duties promotes the use of sound business practices and supports the achievement of a business process objective. When designing segregation of duties controls for a business or financial process, most business process owners start with identifying incompatible functions and then define the segregation of duties and systems access controls. However, the segregation of duties control cannot always be achieved in certain situations due to staffing limitations.
In some cases, an employee will perform all activities within a process. In this scenario, segregation of duties does not exist and risk cannot be identified nor mitigated in a timely manner. As a result, the implementation of additional compensating controls should be considered.
Many companies include compensating controls in their internal controls programs as additional measures to reduce risk. These controls can be embedded in continuous controls monitoring (CCM) and controls self-assessment (CSA) processes. Learn about specific examples of compensating controls and why they should be implemented at your company to augment existing control programs.
