Engagement

Internal Control Assessment

Focused assessment of cash, purchases, payroll, and inventory controls for owners who want clearer segregation before the next audit cycle.

Control assessments at Sora Ledger Counsel stay close to the ledger: who can approve a payment, who reconciles the bank, and whether inventory adjustments require a second signature. The deliverable is a concise report your board can act on before the next statutory fieldwork.
