Simplify Financial Compliance

Your financial accounting processes are critical business processes that impact your financial compliance with commonly established GAAP or IFRS best practices, or legal requirements like Sarbanes Oxley (SOX). The terms financial accounting policies or accounting procedures encompass a much broader context than simply receipts and payments

Think of accounts receivable, accounts payable, revenue recognition, and depreciation.  What about banking, cash flow, and financial statements?  Or tax accounting, costing, compliance, assets, and auditing?

The term “financial accounting” encompasses an enormous wealth of information we all think of.  It includes areas ranging from human resources (payroll, benefits, etc.) to computer information transaction integrity. So, since procedures on counting income and expenses are only a part of what makes up accounting, what do you include when you are designing an financial accounting policies and procedures manual?

Top Ten Financial Accounting Cycle Internal Controls

The CFO Series provides a risk reducing framework of financial internal controls for the ten core accounting cycles — these cycles make up the accounting body of knowledge.  Each financial cycle focuses on a key element of business accounting and, therefore, should be covered in your company’s financial accounting policies and procedures manual.

Finance Accounting Policies Procedures Manual

1. Revenue Cycle Procedures

The first — and what business owners would consider the most important — business process is the revenue or sales cycle. Revenue is the lifeblood of any business. Once sales has obtained an order, the order must be “booked” into the accounting system, triggering your credit, fulfillment, and accounts receivable (or collections) processes. Example procedures for the revenue cycle can be found in the TC Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual

2. Cash Disbursement Cycle Procedures

The second most important cycle deals with how you manage your cash expenses. We’re talking about your purchasing, receiving, accounts payable, and administrative expense processes. Once you receive cash from your customers (revenue cycle), you must spend less than you receive to maintain a positive cash flow and stay in business. Sample cash disbursement cycle procedures can also be found in the TC Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual

3. Production Cycle Procedures

With the two key accounting cycles (making money and spending it) covered, the remainder of your accounting manual is devoted to accounting support processes. The production support cycle is the most critical to your business — if you don’t have a product or service to sell, the first two cycles are immaterial, aren’t they?

The production cycle introduces issues such as managing raw materials, Work In Process (WIP), finished goods inventory, product release, and shipping. Example procedures for the production cycle can be found in the TC Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual.

4. Financial Reporting Cycle Procedures

In the first three cycles, you took orders, purchased materials, made products and/or services, delivered products, billed customers, and now you must report your results. The financial reporting cycle includes budgeting and forecasting what you might need, reporting what you sold, financial analysis (to see if you’re making a profit, to spot trends, etc.), and management reviews with key stakeholders (the Board of Directors, your shareholders, government agencies, etc.) to discuss how well the plan is going

Example of procedures for the financial reporting cycle can be found in the TC Financial Policies and Procedures Manual. Notice we’ve switched manuals, going into the financial area of accounting

5. Finance Cycle Procedures

The finance cycle is about raising capital and managing the capital you have. You might need debt or equity capital to finance your business. Either way, you’ll need a process to acquire and manage that cash.  And, if you have a lot of cash moving through your business, you’ll need some form of treasury management (i.e., how to invest or “park” your cash). Sample procedures for the finance cycle are in the TC Financial Policies and Procedures Manual

6. Asset Cycle Procedures

What business does not have assets?  If you have one or more computers, production machinery, or office furniture, you have assets. Your assets require processes for depreciation, inventory management, asset acquisition and asset disposition or disposal

Since there are laws and standards (e.g., IRS, IFRS, GAAP) that must be observed, it is important that you have asset cycle processes. Example procedures for asset cycle processes are in the TC Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual

7. Internal Audit Cycle Procedures

Publicly traded companies and businesses with significant debt or equity require internal auditing. Your internal audit process consists of audit planning, conducting the audit, audit reporting, and audit follow-up. Sample procedures for the internal audit cycle are in the TC Financial Policies and Procedures Manual

8. Strategic Planning Cycle Procedures

If you have cash, assets, compliance, and stakeholders of any kind, you need a strategic planning process. Business planning is just that — a planning process necessitating a business plan.  The company business plan takes into account how to prepare for compliance (with SOX, SAS 70, etc.), standards and guidelines (e.g., GAAP, IFRS), and Board and stockholders’ meetings. Examples of procedures for the strategic planning cycle are in the TC Financial Policies and Procedures Manual

9. Payroll Cycle Procedures

The payroll process focuses on administrating compensation, benefits, and personnel compliance. This may not sound like traditional accounting, but the accounting department is involved with compliance by virtue of its role as the financial gatekeeper and financial reporting contact. Samples of procedures for the payroll cycle are in the TC Human Resources Policies and Procedures Manual

10. Information Integrity Cycle Procedures

Today, all accounting transactions are performed on computers, across networks, and using IT assets.  Information integrity — specifically, security, timeliness, and accuracy — is critical to accounting, and to the business. Now it may not be accounting’s primary job to manage all IT assets, but accounting cannot shy away from its duty to ensure the integrity of computer and IT management, IT security, IT disaster recovery, and IT internal controls. Samples of procedures for the information integrity cycle are in the TC Computer and IT Policies and Procedures Manual

This five-manual series address the ten core accounting cycles that all organizations need to pay special attention to. You will be able to do that with concrete example accounting procedures for critical accounting and financial cycles that form the core of your internal control system, such as: cash disbursement, production, financial reporting, finance, asset, internal audit, strategic planning, payroll, and information integrity

Implementing accounting best practices and internal controls has never been easier. The CFO Accounting Policies and Procedures Series will provide a boost to your accounting compliance management process, and will help you prevent waste, fraud and abuse
