Objective

Ensure management reporting and authority responses are complete, accurate, reviewed and traceable and that identified finance and tax weaknesses are remediated.

Control Activity

Finance produces reconciled monthly management accounts and reports material exceptions. Every authority or auditor request is logged, assigned, reconciled to controlled records, reviewed for legal and confidentiality constraints, approved and delivered securely. Findings receive root cause, owner and due date and are independently verified before closure.
