Brandt and Associates can assess your internal control systems to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of your operating procedures. We take the time to evaluate all the duties within the organization and the way in which finances are handled by the company. Then we make recommendations that will streamline your company, clear any confusion amongst employees and deal with any short-term staff shortages. At Brandt and Associates, we can help your company become stronger and more profitable by correcting any inefficient or ineffective operating procedures we find.

What we do for you...

• Implement separation of duties so that duties are divided, or split, among different people to reduce risk of error or inappropriate actions. Let us help you provide the structure needed to diversify the duties of your business and prevent a power struggle or confusion within your company.
• Make sure transactions are authorized by a person assigned to such authority. Having one individuals will guarantee the transactions are consistent with policy and funds are available. Having too many people in charge of transactions can lead to duplication, mismanagement and possible corruption. We can make sure that all transactions are done by an authorized individual.
• Ensure records are routinely reviewed and reconciled, by someone other than the preparer for the company, to determine that transactions have been properly processed. We can give you the peace of mind that all your records are kept accurately and provide you an unbiased perspective to catch anything that was missed.
• Make certain that equipment, inventories, cash and other property are secured physically, counted periodically, and compared with item descriptions shown on control records.

This includes receiving the proper supervision and finding appropriate ways to report any improprieties within the company. 
• We will provide and document policies and procedures and making them accessible to employees. We can codify day-to-day procedures that employees can use as a guide and a list of duties in the event there are numerous or extended employee absences or turnover. This will allow for all employees to continue to run your business smoothly without ever feeling imperiled by the loss of one employee. We can provide policies and procedures to your employees that can help your business run smoothly.
