Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

The Importance of Internal Controls in Fraud Prevention
1. Annual OAPT Conference -
Understanding Internal Control &
Fraud Prevention
October 4, 2012
Presented by: Chad Welty, CPA
Principal, Government Services
2. Today….
Five Components of Internal Control
Fraud Triangle
Fraud Risk Assessment
Fraud Statistics
Fraud Prevention Tips
3. What is the definition of Internal Control?
Internal Control can be defined as the sum of:
An accounting procedure or system designed to promote :
• Efficiency and effectiveness
• Assure the implementation of a policy
• Safeguard of assets
• Avoid fraud
• Avoid errors
4. Five components of Internal Control
Control Environment
Risk Assessment
Information and Communication
Control Activities
Monitoring
5. Internal Control - Environment
Definition – Management’s attitudes, awareness, and
actions concerning the importance of a control.
The Environment sets the “tone” of the entity
Influences the control consciousness of it’s people
Serves as the foundation for all internal control
components, providing components, discipline, and structure.
The best designed policies and procedures have little
hope of being effective without the proper “tone at the
top”.
Management must lead by example. Controls are not limited to
staff.
6. Internal Control – Risk Assessment
Definition – The entity’s identification and analysis of relevant risks
to the achievement of its objectives, forming a basis for determining
how the risk should be managed.
This is an ongoing process. The risks of yesterday, may not be the risks
of today or tomorrow.
Risks must not only be identified, but must be anticipated so they can
be avoided or mitigated. (analogy – installation of lights at a railway
crossing before an accident occurs).
• Managements focus on identifying risk should start with change:
– Change in operating environment
– Change in personnel
– Change in information systems and technology
– New programs or services provided
– Change in structure
7. Internal Control – Risk Assessment con’t
• Management should also focus on the inherent risks
– Complexity
– Cash receipts
– Third-party beneficiaries
– Prior problems
– Prior unresponsiveness to identified control weaknesses
– Payroll withholdings
– Fake vendors
– Credit/purchase cards
– Central garage/storage locations
Proper training, ongoing efforts, responsiveness and commitment to
ongoing assessment will strengthen internal controls to ensure a strong
framework.
8. Internal Control – Information &
Communication
Definition – The identification, capturing, and exchange of information in a form and on a
timely basis to enable employees to carry out their responsibilities .
Management must be able to obtain reliable information to determine and assess risk
and communicate polices and other information to those who need it.
Potential issues effected by information:
• The entity’s performance evaluation vs strategy or goal
• Impact on efficiency and effectiveness
• Management decisions on use of resources (financial or human)
Management can develop the best internal control environment, policies and
procedures, etc., however if not properly communicated they may as well not exist.
• Written policies and procedures distributed
• Training programs established
• New hire orientations
• Polices posted on websites for easy access
9. Internal Control – Information &
Communication con’t
Potential issues facing communication of information:
• Effectiveness and efficiency in the performance of the duties of employees
• Lack of communication channels available to employees to report suspected
improprieties
• Untimely information reporting causing reduction in usefulness to make
decisions
10. Control Activities
Definition – The policies and procedures that help ensure
management directives are carried out.
As a result of ongoing risk assessment and the strategies to
communicate information, management must develop policies and
procedures to carry out and meet the goals and strategies of the entity.
Traditionally, control-related policies and procedures related to finance
are classified into one of the following categories:
• Authorization
• Properly designed records
• Security/safeguarding of assets and records
• Segregation of duties
• Periodic reconciliations
• Analytical review
11. Internal Controls - Monitoring
Definition – The process used by those charged with governance
(management AND the elected taxing authority) to assess the
quality of internal control over time.
The best developed control policies and procedures require changes
over time as the environment changes.
Not only are controls implemented to reduce/eliminate problems, they
should be designed to alert management of a potential problem.
Without proper monitoring, these problems could go undetected.
12. Internal Controls – Monitoring con’t
The Roles in monitoring internal controls
Who is “ultimately” responsible for internal control?
• THE GOVERNING BODY!!
– It’s the job of the governing board to ensure that management meets all of it’s
responsibilities.
– How can this be achieved? Establish an “audit committee”
• Audit Committee responsibilities may include independent reviews and oversight of:
– Reporting processes
– Internal controls
– Independent auditors
Who is “primarily” responsible for internal control?
• MANAGEMENT!!
– Fundamentally a management concern since it uses the tools and techniques in order
to achieve managements objectives
Who’s role is it to “validate” the success of designed controls and determine operating
effectiveness.
• YOUR AUDITORS!!
13. Internal Controls – Inherent Limitations
No internal control framework can be perfect.
Inherent limitations include:
Management over-ride of controls (policies and procedures)
Collusion
Cost of the control (policy or procedure) should not cost more than the
benefit it was expected to achieve
Human judgment can be faulty, human errors and mistakes
Limitation on segregation of duties based on number of employees
14. Cressey’s Fraud Triangle – Concept that dates
back over half a century. Generally for fraud to
occur, three things must be present:
Opportunity
Pressure/Incentive Rationalization
Source: ACFE 2012 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse
15. Fraud Triangle
Pressure – Financial need that is often unwilling to be
shared (addictions, debt, etc.) or that emotions have
impacted the person (sick child or “keeping up with the
Joneses”)
Opportunity – The ability to commit a fraudulent activity
must exist (weaknesses in internal control or the ability
to override them)
Rationalization – When a person has the ability to
justify their actions (I’m underpaid, I’ll pay it back, or the
health of my child is more important)
16. It Could Happen to You
Embezzlement of Utility Payments
Missing Evidence
IT Equipment and Purchases
Off-the Books Bank Accounts
See the AOS website for numerous stories and findings
17. What is Fraud Risk Assessment?
Proactive approach to mitigating fraud in your
organization
Analyzing where fraud can occur in your organization
Fraud Prevention vs. Fraud Detection
Prevention = Proactive
Detection = Reactive
18. Who is Responsible for Risk Assessment
Governing Body
Audit or Finance Committee
Mayor/Administrator
Finance Director/Treasurer
Executive Staff
Everyone throughout the Organization– informal lines
of communication
19. Definition of Fraud
“Intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another
to part with something of value or to surrender legal
right.” (Mirriam-Webster’s online dictionary)
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE)
Misrepresentation of material facts
Concealment of material facts
Bribery
Conflicts of Interest
Theft of money and property
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
21. Risk Identification
Risk Identification
Gathering information from both internal and external sources
• Brainstorming
• Interviews
• Analytical Procedures
– Trend analysis: vendor example
Where are the inherent risks?
• Cash collection points
• Lack of oversight
23. Risk Likelihood
Risk Likelihood
More interviews
Historical information
Analyze vendor listing
24. Risk Response
Consider cost-benefit
How will council/management respond
Increased Training
Surprise Audits
Change in Policy and Procedure
