For example, a bank may properly utilize loan checklists to as-sure the accuracy of loan information and completeness of loan documenta-tion. Rather than having two or three employees review different checklist and loan documentation items, a bank can establish one checklist covering all aspects of the loan cycle and have

INTERNAL CONTROLSBalancing Effectiveness

and Efficiency in Internal Controls

(continued on Page 8)

Developing appropriate internal con-trols is critical for banks to manage risk,

but bankers often face the compet-ing challenges of establishing con-trols needed to manage risk while also maintain-ing profitability. For example, risks such as fraud, sys-tem interruptions, posting errors,

or failure to meet strategic objectives present considerable exposure and require effective internal controls. In confronting that exposure, however, the bank’s profitability goals can be strained due to internal control costs. In managing these competing chal-lenges, a bank’s internal controls must be effective and efficient. While ev-ery bank faces specific circumstances based on its size, product offerings, and other factors, the following mea-sures can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of any bank’s internal controls.

Establish Efficient Separation of DutiesSeparation of duties prevents one employee from performing conflict-ing or incompatible duties, meaning that no one individual can initiate, complete, review, and release a trans-action. Separation of duties serves as a key preventive control for fraud and also reduces the possibility of an error going undetected. For example, one employee should not be entering and releasing electronic fund transfer in-formation, and someone else should have transaction review and release responsibility. As separation of duties is a funda-mental element of an effective control environment, many internal processes

one independent employee second-arily review the checklist for complete-ness while reviewing loan documenta-tion and system set-up.

Increase Reliance on System ControlsA typical bank relies upon a combina-tion of system (IT-based) controls and manual (performed by an individual) controls. While system controls re-quire initial investment, they function continuously and consistently, thus often rendering these controls more

efficient and more effective than man-ual controls. Such system controls may apply to posting access, automated bal-ancing processes, or system-enforced dual control for processing.

Focus on Crucial IssuesBanks do not have unlimited resourc-es, so it is important to determine what internal control concerns matter most. For example, an independent, next-day review of a system-generated file maintenance report is an impor-tant internal control for loans and de-posits. However, many standard file maintenance reports include changes that pose little to no risk. Therefore, management can identify file main-tenance changes deemed to be more critical, such as changes in loan pay-ment dates, address or telephone changes to deposit accounts, or pa-rameter changes for interest rates or new accounts. A daily custom report can then be created, for review purpos-es, that includes just those changes. Also, secondary review can be most effective and efficient when the re-viewer focuses on the following con-cerns: • Accuracy (verifying that the trans-action or reconciliation agrees to sup-porting documentation). • Completeness (determining if all aspects of the transaction have been properly included). • Validity (considering whether the transaction is valid for the customer or process).• Reasonableness (considering whether the transaction appears to be unusual based on typical activity within the account). With one independent employee addressing these considerations, the need for multiple reviews of transac-tions can be reduced.

Effectiveness and Efficiency Sustain BanksBanks will always face the need to find the right balance between effec-tiveness and efficiency in establishing an internal control environment. By focusing on that balance, a bank can better manage risks Q About the author: James Mihills, CPA, is a partner in financial institutions con-sulting for Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P.
