Internal control policy template
Draft an internal-control policy covering approvals, segregation of duties, and spending authority — a structured template to adapt to your business and review.
Internal controls are what stop small mistakes and quiet fraud from becoming big problems: who can approve what, who cannot both initiate and approve a payment, where the spending limits sit. Most growing companies need them well before they get around to writing them down.
This tool drafts an internal-control policy with the core structure: approval thresholds, segregation of duties, spending authority levels, and the basic checks that keep money moving safely. It gives you a coherent starting document rather than piecing controls together from scratch.
It is a template to adapt and review, not an audited control framework. Shape it to your team size and structure, and have it reviewed by a finance professional or auditor against the standards that apply to you before you rely on it.
