Controls that survive a second look

From Taplow we review internal control design and operation so UK finance teams stop presenting policies that cannot be re-performed when auditors ask for evidence.

Primary engagement

Internal control review

Start from the cycle that keeps failing scrutiny—approvals, reconciliations, access, or segregation—then test whether design matches how work actually moves and whether evidence proves it operated.

What you take home

Owned control artefacts—not a black-box opinion that vanishes when the consultant leaves.

  1. Narratives your owners can keep

    Control descriptions and evidence paths written so a new finance lead can explain the cycle without a private briefing.

  2. Samples that survive challenge

    Schedules drawn from real periods, with exceptions rated by reporting and fraud impact—not by how neat the policy binder looks.

  3. Clear limits

    We name advisory “controls,” ownership without authority, and charts of maturity that cannot be re-performed.

“We thought segregation was solid. The review showed secondary approval was the same person with a different login after the system cutover—policy said dual control; operation did not.”
