Internal Controls for Private Companies

 
Internal controls for private companies
Most business owners are familiar with the concept of internal financial controls, but there is often confusion around who needs them. We hear this every day in the conversations we have with the leadership teams of small to mid-sized business.

There is widely held a misconception that only publicly traded companies need to worry about internal controls. Private companies often assume that because they do not need to file their financial reports with an external entity or report them to shareholders that they do not need to implement the same types of controls that larger, public organizations do. The confusion here stems from the that many people view internal controls as a piece of the regulatory puzzle, when in reality internal controls are “The policies and procedures used to ensure accuracy and reliability across accounting reports.”

How to Handle Excess Inventory

 
what to do about excess inventory
While many companies have faced materials and components shortages leading to stock outs since the start of the pandemic, many other companies have been sitting on excess inventory due to transportation challenges, shifting consumer patterns, and tightening sales distribution channels.

​Excess inventory occurs when a business holds more stock than is needed to meet their forecasted demand. It can be the result of flawed forecasting, purchasing errors, improper inventory management, or business disruptions. The latter is what many organizations have been dealing with since early-2020.

Help! My Accountant is Retiring

 
my accountant is retiring
A lot has been said about The Great Resignation occurring across America right now, but not all employees are leaving for better opportunities. Long-term employees are retiring in droves right now. Many accounting and finance professionals that are close to retirement age are making the decision to step away from full-term work, while others that are well past retirement age are finally ready to hand over the reins at the companies they have served for many years.

Any time a long-term employee leaves, a significant gap is created that their employer must fill with not only a new hire but also the technology and systems components that need to be built up in the transition. So, if your accountant is retiring, now is the time to plan for the shift.
