INTERNAL CONTROLS & FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Strengthen the Systems Behind Your Numbers

Accurate financial statements depend on accurate processes.

Pennies Count helps nonprofit and research organizations identify weaknesses in their financial processes and build practical systems and controls designed to reduce risk.

YOUR ORGANIZATION MAY BE FACING...

You may have concerns about:

  • Processes that depend on one individual

  • Lack of documented accounting procedures

  • Inconsistent approval processes

  • Weak segregation of duties

  • Reconciliation issues

  • Inadequate supporting documentation

  • Unclear revenue or expense processes

  • Financial systems that have grown without a corresponding structure

HOW PENNIES COUNT HELPS

We examine how financial activity actually moves through your organization—from the initial transaction through recording, reconciliation, reporting, and review.

Our forensic-minded approach helps identify where processes may break down and where controls can be strengthened.

The goal isn't to create unnecessary bureaucracy. It's to create controls that work.
