Meaning: An internal check is a continuous process of the accounting system to check for
errors or fraud in bookkeeping operations for early detection and prevention. The internal
check is an arrangement of the duties of the staff members of the accounting functions in
such a way that another automatically checks the work performed by a person.
In the opinion of Spicer and Pegler, “A system of internal check is an arrangement of staff
duties, whereby no one person is allowed to carry through and to record every aspect of a
transaction so that without collusion between two or more persons, fraud is activated and at
the same time the possibilities of errors are reduced to the minimum”.
L.R. Dicksee defines an internal check as “an arrangement of book-keeping routine that
errors and frauds are likely to be prevented or discovered by the very operation of the book-
keeping itself.”
Internal check means a continuous internal audit carried on by the staff, using which other
staff members independently check each individual’s work.
1. Division of Work
2. Provision of Check
3. Use of Devices
4. Self-balancing System
5. Job Rotation
6. Specialization
7. Control
Division of Work
No one should be allowed to have the right to perform the work from origin to end.
For example – a transaction of sale may have to be split into a display of article by staff, the
preparation of invoice by another, the receipt of cash against the invoice by a third clerk, the
delivery of article against the proof of receipted invoice by another clerk, checking of
outward movement of an article against delivery order by a clerk and so on.
In big business houses, such specialized tasks increase work speed and automatically
introduce internal checks.
Provision of Check
An organization should set up such provisions so that work can be checked by other
staff. An officer can check the work of one staff by transferring to the staff and again.
Use of Devices
In this modem world, various devices can perform various functions like time record
machines, wage determination machines, etc. An organization should use machines that help
to make the work of internal checks easier.
Self-balancing System
An organization can use self-balancing ledger accounts, which help to make the work
of internal checks easier. Its effectiveness depends on its management.
Job Rotation
No individual clerk should be allowed to occupy a particular area of operation for long.
Familiarity with and exclusiveness in a position offer a person greater flexibility to attempt
manipulation with the system.
Specialization
Every staff may not have such specialized knowledge to maintain accounts properly.
So, an organization should give training to increase their skills so that internal checks can be
made more effective.
Control
There is more chance of fraud where there is direct contact between consumers or the
public. So, a manager can keep an eye on those works so that the internal check system can be
more effective.
Authority Level
There are several objectives of the internal check. They are given below:
1. An internal check is based on some specific principles. Without which, an internal check is
of no use. These principles are given below:
2. The business staff should allocate the process according to the duties, responsibilities, and
rights. There is no room for interference.
3. No single person should have independent control over the all-important aspects of the
business.
4. The duties among the business staff should be changed from time to time so that no staff
should be engaged in a particular job for a long time.
5. Every staff member should be encouraged to go on leave at least once a year. This will
help in detecting concealed fraud.
• Increase in Efficiency
The system of internal checks puts a morale check on staff members and enables them
to learn honesty, hard work, and straightforwardness.
The system of the internal check determines the responsibilities of employees. The
staff member may be held responsible for any irregularity carried on by him.
There is less possibility of fraud under the system of the internal check because errors
and frauds can be detected early.
Increase in Efficiency
The internal checks ensure greater efficiency and speed because the arrangement of
internal checks is based on a division of labour.
The internal checks system facilitates auditors’ work to a great extent by enabling
them to rely on test checking.
In an internal check system, the ‘Profit and Loss Account’ and Balance Sheet is
prepared without any loss of time.
The system of an internal check may also result in correct and complete records of all
the transactions on each balancing of the books of accounts.
Any dishonesty or irregularity in the concern by the staff members can be detected
before they assume any complication.
Suppose the auditor finds the system of internal cheek satisfactory. Then by
considering defects or weak points, he can take the help of test checking.

The auditor may show slackness at work. He may rely on the system of internal check
blindfolds, which may adversely affect the quality of audit work. This is also a serious defect
of the system of internal checks.
The system of internal checks is not suitable for small concerns as it may be
uneconomical in small concerns.
If the concerned employees join hands, they may keep the employer in the dark and
may cause many irregularities defying any detection thereof. This grouping amongst the
employees may not be healthy.
Despite these four disadvantages, performing internal checks is crucial for all types of
organizations. Internal auditors are responsible for conducting internal checks and audits. With
a clear understanding of internal check; for more learning use our complete guideline on
fundamentals of management, auditing and strategic management.

stage if it is committed.

CONCLUSION:
Verifies that all accounts and transactions are posted correctly and that the trial balance
is in balance. Segregation of Duties: This internal check ensures that no single individual has
control over a transaction from start to finish.
A system through which the accounting procedures of an organisation are so laid out
that the accounts procedures are not under the absolute and independent control of any person.
Internal auditing is a professional activity involved in helping organizations to achieve their
stated objectives. It does this by utilizing a systematic methodology for analysing business
processes, procedures and activities with the goal of highlighting organizational problems and
recommending solutions.
If the controls are found to be effective, the auditor may rely on them to reduce the
extent of substantive testing. If the controls are found to be ineffective or have material
weaknesses, the auditor will need to plan and perform additional audit procedures to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
Generally today a step forward in banks' perception of necessity in forming efficient
management system and internal control system has been made. But still there're many
questions remaining which are important to work out (like providing integration of banking
community and supervision authority approaches in different aspects).
All in all, control system is an important part of banking activity, maintaining its
reputation. And at any time any financial institution can't do without it.
The internal audit function of corporate governance provides objective and independent
assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve the company's sustainable
performance in the areas of operations, risk management, internal controls, financial reporting,
and government processes.
Internal auditors are well trained and positioned to provide numerous assurance
services to their organization. The emerging trend toward more emphasis on MBL of
governance, economic, ethical, social, and environmental performance requires organizations
to provide assurance on a variety of their performance measures and achievements. SOX does
not directly address internal auditor responsibilities or internal audit function.
The internal audit function should have
(1) full and free access to the company's audit committee; (2) unrestricted access to the
company's records, documents, property, and personnel; and (3) authority to discuss initiatives,
policies, and procedures regarding risk assessment, internal controls, compliance, financial
reporting, and governance processes with management and other corporate governance
