GENERAL PRINCILES OF AUDITING

Internal Control In Smaller Entities

Control Environment

• Entirely depends on tone t the top (everyone is

close to the top ad they do what they see)

• Pressure to deliver (no review of work, employees

assigned to tasks they have no experience in etc.)

• No separate departments (human resources,

creditors, debtors, cashbook etc.)

Risk Assessment Process

• Unlikely to be formal risk committees/ officers or

risk assessment processes.

• No time and resources (everyone is busy working)
