Internal Control & Risk Consulting

Trust is not an internal control. Protect your business from the inside out.

Fred Lundin CPA offers specialized Internal Control & Risk Consulting Services for growing small businesses that have become too complex to manage on a handshake. As you hire more staff and delegate financial tasks, the risk of asset misappropriation (theft), payroll fraud, and costly data errors increases exponentially. In fact, small businesses are the most common victims of fraud because they often lack the checks and balances of larger corporations. We help you close those gaps.

We conduct a comprehensive risk assessment of your current financial operations. We identify "toxic combinations"—such as one employee having the ability to both create a vendor and cut a check—and design a practical Segregation of Duties (SOD) framework to prevent it. We also evaluate your cybersecurity posture regarding financial data, ensuring that your remote team access is secure. Whether you need to safeguard your inventory, lock down your payroll process, or prepare for a future audit, we build the "safety rails" that keep your business on track.
