Risks & Internal controls
Manual controls – Jackson & Stent p 11/9 – 11/13
Computerised controls – Jackson & Stent p 11/16 – 11/30
When you get a weakness / risk / internal control, ask:
1) What cycle are you in?
2) What function are you in?
3) What is being asked?
(Are we asking for weaknesses, risks or internal controls?)
•As I’ve done below, link each IC to a risk / risks for each of the functions
(J&S p 11/9 – 11/13)
•Risks and Internal controls become more logical and therefore easier to
remember in the exam
•Can be that a question is not limited to 1 function, then you need to
think logically and approach the question the same as described above
(Cycle?, Function? Weakness/Risk/IC?) for each activity provided.
•Remember the “What, on what, why and by whom”
