Praise for Internal Controls Policies and Procedures
"With many years as a consultant to numerous companies big and small, Rose brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to bear on the topic of internal controls in Internal Controls Policies and Procedures. Instead of 'reinventing the wheel,' companies can use this useful how-to manual to quickly put an effective program of?internal controls in place. It will prove to be an invaluable guide to internal auditors at companies of all sizes."
—Mark Greenquist, President and CEO, Telcordia Technologies, Inc.
"I have implemented, used, corrected, reviewed, and enhanced internal controls systems for most of my career. Getting started and following a path, founded in the COSO framework, is oftentimes the most difficult step in the process. What do you have to do? Why do you have to do it? How do you do it, and most important, how do you document what you have done? The author has answered these questions in an easy-to-read format and provided many useful tools and checklists to facilitate the completion of the internal controls process review. An extremely useful tool."
—William H. Hogan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Multi Packaging Solutions, Inc.
"The methodology presented within this publication is complete with flowcharts and checklists, which serve as a desktop reference for all organizations. Internal controls are dynamic and must be periodically reviewed and updated. Internal auditors play an important role in the process, but internal controls are the responsibility of all employees within an organization. I highly recommend this book both to auditors and management as a best practices model for establishing and enhancing their organization's control framework."
—Jim Kaplan, President and CEO, AuditNet.org, the global resource for auditors, and the recipient of the IIA's 2007 prestigious Bradford Cadmus Memorial Award

Now is the time for Internal Controls,
By
This review is from: Internal Controls Policies and Procedures (Paperback)
Did you know there is a difference between internal controls, audit preparedness and audits?
Indicators that the time is right for an Internal Control program * Are you within the 99% (as stated by the SEC) of companies which have ineffective controls over financial reporting? * Does your company have departments with conflicting strategies and goals? * Does your company work cross functionally, not in silos and as a team? * Does risk and testing initiatives undergo review and approval cycle? * Are policies and procedures linked to internal controls and audit checklists? * Are you ready to establish the disciplines necessary for Sarbanes/Oxley or other regulatory initiatives? Then this manual is a great starting point.. providing policies, procedures and identifying testing areas. Contact the policyguru@idealpolicy.com or visit www.idealpolicy.com
