How it can help the client ?

Internal financial controls are very critical, because they establish necessary safeguards to an organization’s assets and minimize the opportunities of committing fraud and allowing errors to go undetected in an organization’s daily operations. Financial controls play an important role in ensuring the accuracy of reporting, eliminating fraud and protecting the organization's resources, both physical and intangible by focussing on high risk areas.

These internal control procedures reduce process variation, leading to more predictable outcomes. Robust and effective internal financial controls facilitate reduction in the risk of asset loss, and help to ensure that the plan information is complete and accurate, financial statements are reliable, and the plan's operations are conducted in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
