Although it may be necessary that responsibility over different functions be assigned to the same member of staff, due to the small number of accounting staff employed, certain functions cannot safely be combined with each other. The Company’s current segregation of duties is inappropriate as it takes away an independent check over irregularities and competency in the transaction entry functions.
From an internal control point of view, two functions are incompatible if one provides a control over the other. In the case of the Company the areas where segregation is a matter of particular concern are:-
The same person is responsible of for record all of transactions
the handling of collections, the preparation of cheques, and the preparation of bank reconciliations, which is a check over the cash handling functions.
