Studies indicate that small businesses are more susceptible to theft and fraud than businesses of any other size. One of the primary reasons for this increased level of risk is the lack of proper internal control in small business environments. This seminar is designed to specifically identify those internal controls which should be implemented in small businesses utilizing QuickBooks software and to provide a methodology for implementing the controls necessary to mitigate risk.
In this course, participants will learn how to identify control objectives, assess risks, and develop appropriate responses to manage those risks to acceptable levels. Don’t miss this opportunity to reduce business risks and to increase the opportunities for success for your companies and your clients.
