Internal Controls Consulting

Developing and maintaining an effective control environment is essential for governance, compliance, and risk management. We partner with you to assess and strengthen your controls, turning regulatory requirements like Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) into opportunities for improved confidence, performance, and efficiency.

Whether it involves implementing a comprehensive internal audit control program, developing consistent policies and procedures to enhance efficiency and reduce fraud and risk, preparing for an impending attestation, or managing a specific project, we offer customized solutions to address your requirements.

Our Internal Controls Services:

Business Process Assessments: Thorough evaluations to identify opportunities for improvement across departments and operations.
Internal Control Assessments: Process review, control documentation, testing and remediation to provide a backbone to your processes that minimizes risk and fraud. This includes evaluating and enhancing staffing roles and segregation of duties to ensure clear accountability and reduce vulnerabilities.
Internal Audit Outsourcing and Co-sourcing: Flexible options for fully outsourced or co-sourced internal audit arrangements for non-profits and non-public sectors. We also offer SOX Consulting for public companies.
Internal Audit Department Start-up: Guidance from auditors on establishing a robust internal audit function.
Compliance Preparation: Conduct readiness evaluations for upcoming compliance reporting to position you effectively for a favorable attestation outcome.
IT General Controls (ITGCs) Assessments: Evaluation of the design and effectiveness of IT general controls (e.g., access management, change management, and system operations) to ensure the reliability, integrity, and security of your IT systems and data.

“I highly recommend AAFCPAs to any nonprofit looking for exceptional value in a CPA and consulting firm. We utilize them for our audit, tax, ERISA, UFR for all compliance needs and are equally pleased with consulting in UBIT, TCJA, entity structuring, internal controls, business processes, donation/campaign, and New Market Tax Credits…all of which encompass business matters designed to help us be successful in our mission. AAFCPAs is a great business partner and contributes to the overall success of St. Francis House.”

Karen LaFrazia, President and CEO St. Francis House
“What truly sets AAFCPAs apart is the exceptional return on investment they deliver. Choosing a larger firm would have meant significantly higher costs without achieving the same level of tailored, effective support. I highly recommend AAFCPAs for organizations seeking expert guidance in areas such as accounts payable and AP automation, monthly close, internal controls, processes, and audit liaison support. Their ability to balance operational efficiency with strategic insight makes a tangible difference for our organization.”

Jason Lin, Chief Financial Officer Tomorrow.io
“We appreciate the value AAFCPAs adds to our operations. In response to our goal of improving our internal controls, we hired AAFCPAs to perform quarterly reviews. I thoroughly enjoy the reviews and have become more knowledgeable in many areas such as grants—recognizing grant revenue and lease accounting. AAFCPAs is critically important in helping us gain efficiencies and lower risks. I consider them an excellent overall value.”

Yvette Philip, Former Finance Director Brooke Charter Schools

Our bench is deep, and our expertise is extensive.

AAFCPAs is a top 100 CPA and Consulting firm, offering regional resources supported by a global network in 100+ countries. We have over 350 employees, including experienced audit professionals, outsourced accountants, and fractional CFOs with deep internal controls expertise in various industries. Our Business & IT consulting team specializes in IT general controls, data security, and business process efficiency.

We are collaborative.

We recognize the importance of balancing internal controls with efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, we understand that internal controls must be tailored to the specific resources of an organization; a one-size-fits-all approach is not suitable. For organizations of any size, we assess risks across the organization, report findings to management, boards, and stakeholders, and collaborate with clients to address challenges and implement effective, resource-appropriate controls.

We Support Your Internal Controls Evolution

Internal controls must adapt as fraud schemes and cyber-crimes evolve. Changes in company size or new software also affect your control environment. Business processes span various departments, so involving cross-functional teams is essential for effective analysis and improvement. AAFCPAs helps clients by documenting processes, asking pertinent questions, and identifying opportunities for improvement, control points, and technological enhancements.
