Engagement
Internal control assessment
Focused assessment of selected internal controls — how cash is handled, how purchases are approved, and how payroll changes are authorized.
Purpose
Owners often sense that cash drawers, refunds, or vendor payments rely too much on one person. This engagement documents how selected cycles actually run, then lists gaps with practical fixes — dual approvals, segregation, or better cut-off routines.
Scope choices
You choose the cycles: cash receipts, disbursements, inventory movement, payroll, or revenue recognition. We walk through with staff, inspect sample evidence, and avoid disrupting peak trading hours where possible.
Output
A written findings memo with severity ranking, responsible owners, and suggested next steps. This is not an audit opinion on the financial statements.
Typical duration
Two to five weeks depending on number of locations. Multi-store retail groups in San Chong and Taipei usually need an on-site day per cluster of outlets.
