Title: Internal Controls Toolkit Author: Christine H. Doxey Year: 2019 Pages: 400 Language: English Publisher: Wiley Price: $66.61 (hardcover) ISBN-10: 111955439X ISBN-13: 978-1119554394  Book Abstract: All companies, regardless of size, structure, nature, or industry, encounter risks at all levels within their organization. In their 2018 Report to the Nations, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) reported that internal control weaknesses were responsible for nearly half of all frauds reported. Internal Controls Toolkit is an authoritative and comprehensive book that outlines the standards of internal controls that organizations (of all types and sizes) can use to mitigate risk. Designed as a practical resource, the book offers a guide for putting in place effective controls in order to provide reliable, timely, and useful financial and managerial data that is critical for supporting operating, budgeting, and policy decisions. The author—a noted expert on the topic—takes a toolkit approach that includes detailed information on controls and risks outlined for key business processes. The book offers background information on the history of internal controls, recommendations for developing a series of risk-based controls, proven ideas for implementing internal controls, and includes the metrics to use when measuring results. The author explores how to establish the three most critical corporate controls: segregation of duties; systems access; and delegation of authority. Filled with best practices for each step in the internal control process, the book examines the COSO model at the heart of many internal controls systems and Sarbanes-Oxley efforts in the corporate environment. In addition, the book offers direction for being in compliance with SOX 404 initiatives, guidance for companies undergoing merger and acquisition projects, and suggestions for implementing Control Self-Assessment (CSA), Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), and other self-audit initiatives. Internal Controls Toolkit is the hands-on resource for any organization that wants to achieve operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliable financial reporting, and compliance with laws, regulations, and policies.

Book Abstract: This publication focuses on the critical methods that can be used to dramatically improve the fiscal closing process. The Record to Report (R2R) or Fiscal Closing Process is at the core of the controllership function. The process includes transaction processing, internal and external reporting, and the internal controls—the people, processes, and technology—that constitute the corporate organizational hierarchy. CFOs, controllers, and corporate finance departments require timely, accurate, and consistent data to make appropriate operational and strategic decisions and fulfill statutory, regulatory, and compliance requirements with accurate and timely data. The Fast Close Toolkit offers both strategic and tactical suggestions that can significantly improve the fiscal closing process and provides guidance on new legislation requirements, systems and best practice processes. Checklists, templates, process narratives, and sample policies are provided for every component of the fiscal close. Investors and shareholders expect fast and easy access to the data created by current business activities in the information-driven digital age. The Fast Close Toolkit provides the necessary tools and expert advice to improve the fiscal closing process. Authoritative and up to date, this book:

Title: Detecting and Reducing Supply Chain Fraud Author: Norman A. Katz Year: 2012 Pages: 236 Language: English Publisher: Routledge Price: $101.87 (hardcover) ISBN-10: 1409407322 ISBN-13: 978-1409407324
Book Abstract: For most large organizations, the supply chain is a commercial advantage, enabling innovation, cost management and resilience. But the supply chain is open to fraud: the length and complexity of it creates opportunities for fraudsters to exploit phantom inventory, invent non-existent customers or suppliers, substitute one product for another, cheat on the quality…this list goes on. These frauds present a significant source of additional cost to the organization and expose it to a host of secondary risks: contract, compliance and reputation. Detecting and Reducing Supply Chain Fraud is a pragmatic guide to identifying and managing sources of risk. Norman A. Katz includes chapters explaining the main categories of fraud risk: what they are, what is their significance and how they are exploited by the fraudster. He also explores both the tactical and strategic approaches that you should adopt to help detect and reduce fraud, including detection techniques and the use of technology. He provides tactics for increasing your organization's resilience: increased transparency, appropriate governance, and engaging employees, customers and suppliers in more ethical work practices. If you are responsible for your organization's supply chain, or perhaps involved in audit, compliance or risk management, start using Detecting and Reducing Supply Chain Fraud and look more closely at every aspect of your supply chain, both internal and external. The savings made in fraud reduction, the increased resilience you will give all of your operations and the improved reputation that your business will enjoy, as a contract partner or amongst stakeholders, will repay your investment a hundred-fold.
Title: Successful Supply Chain Vendor Compliance Author: Norman A. Katz Year: 2016 Pages: 167 Language: English Publisher: Routledge Price: $98.16 (hardcover) ISBN-10: 1472472012 ISBN-13: 978-1472472014
Book Abstract: Even the largest companies find managing vendors a daunting task. If you get it wrong then you risk inadvertently penalizing potentially valuable suppliers with misguided, overly bureaucratic or costly processes. Worse the burdens placed on the vendors backfires on the customer entity itself as the customer is subjected to the increased operational costs of managing the ramifications of the ill-conceived or poorly implemented requirement through the vendor community, driving up its own operational costs and increasing frustrations for all, straining the customer-vendor relationship. Effective compliance programs balance the requirements with the capabilities of their suppliers, striving to educate instead of just inform. A well-run program should help vendors self-implement and control costs, not force vendors to rely on constant communication and increase costs for all trading partners involved.
