Financial Controls

Which controls we operate, who owns them, when they were last tested — and the second signature on a manual journal, which is the last control standing.

Control Summary Read-only list The framework in one row per process — how many controls, how many key, how many effective, and how many material weaknesses. The page an audit committee is shown. 11 0 0
Financial Controls List Which controls we operate, who owns each, when it was last tested and what we are doing about the ones that failed. A different shape from an audit log, which records changes rather than assurance. 15 22 1
Control Tests Read-only list A test result with no sample size is an opinion. The population, the sample and the method are what make it evidence. 13 0 0
Deficiencies List The three levels are not synonyms: a material weakness has to be disclosed. A finding with no owner and no date is a finding that reappears next year. 13 15 0
Control Frameworks List The published framework a control is claimed against. Naming COSO does not make a control effective, but an auditor asks which, and a control mapping to none is one nobody outside the company recognises. 6 6 0
Account Reconciliations Read-only list Ageing the reconciling items is the whole discipline: a difference that has been there for eleven months is not a timing difference. 15 0 3
Reconciling Items List A reconciliation with a difference and no explanation is a number somebody will plug. 11 12 0
Reconciliation Policies List Which accounts are reconciled, to what, how often and by whom. The accounts nobody reconciles are where errors live for years. 11 12 0
Journal Approvals Read-only list The second pair of eyes — the last control standing once every document-driven route is locked down. Never the person who asked. 11 0 2
Journal Approval Rules List When a manual journal needs a second signature. Any one trigger is enough — the threshold, a reversal, a backdated entry — because each is a real audit test on its own. 10 18 0
Journal Audit Trail Read-only list Every manual, backdated, out-of-hours or round-number journal, with whether it was approved and which period it landed in. Each marker is a real audit test; a journal carrying four is where an auditor starts. 15 0 0
Certifications List A controller signs that the entity’s numbers are right. A certification WITH exceptions is worth far more than one without — the ones without are the ones people sign without reading. 12 10 1
