Course Overview

This online CPE course is designed to assist accountants and auditors who are working with smaller not-for-profit organizations and governmental entities.

Proper internal controls are essential for all organizations. Critical to the implementation of these controls is an appropriate level of segregation of duties. This is very difficult for a small non-profit organization to accomplish due to the size of the staff and/or the number of volunteers. The following online webinar provides examples of how internal controls can be put into place to make errors or fraud more unlikely.

The online CPE course is based on the presumption that there will be a lack of segregation of duties in the internal controls of the organizations. In this online CPE webinar, Dr. Robert Minniti will review compensating and mitigating controls for the lack of segregation of duties and will discuss developing cost-effective internal controls for organizations with limited budgets.

This online Audit (Govt.) The CPE webinar covers the following Key Topics: 

  • Compensating and mitigating controls
