Question

Design or name any methods of internal controls you think could prevent or detect the unethical behavior in the future.

Segregation of Duties

Checking the effectiveness of the internal control after every year or semi year.

Using only company bank account for all the payments and receipt.

Redesigning policies of the organization to ensure effective working of the internal controls.

Bank reconciliation at the month end
