Overview
As headcount grows, informal habits — shared login details, verbal purchase approvals, reconciliations done “when there is time” — create quiet exposure. This review maps how payments, receipts, and records currently move, then recommends proportionate controls for the size of firm you are.
Typical focus areas
- Who can approve purchases and at what thresholds
- Bank reconciliation cadence and evidence
- Payroll change authorisation
- Customer credit limits and write-off decisions
- Backup cover when the finance lead is away
