Internal Controls Issues
Collusion effort by 2 or moreemployees to override the system No system is fool-proof.
Need to rely upon the honesty and ethical behavior
ofall employees. Benefits > Costs to implement
Many small businesses may not reach thisthreshold.
If Benefits < Costs for certain controls, the day-to-
day involvement of the owner and others in thebusinesss operations is critical.
Make sure that the complexity of the systemdoes not hurt the businesss efficiency and/or
customer relations.
