FAQS
Is there a difference between a controller and an accounting manager?
An accounting manager is in charge of overseeing the accounting department and the other accountants in the company. They also analyze the financial records of the firm. On the other hand, controllers manage the financial decisions that get made within departments, which gives them a greater level of responsibility within the company.
Can controllers be held liable for financial losses?
A controller has to manage the financial affairs and also assess the risk of a business. They’re also responsible for overseeing the company’s tax and permit requirements. As they have access to this sensitive information, they could be held liable for financial losses. Determining whether they’re liable would require proof that they acted irresponsibly and without due care in their role.
How can a controller help prevent fraud?
There are a few strategies a controller can implement to reduce the chances of fraud. Firstly, you can create a check/balance system, so there isn’t only one person dealing with finances. You also need to have proper internal controls and processes to monitor and keep track of all the financial information. Don’t give everyone access to company credit cards, and if someone has made use of one, they need to provide slips for all the transactions.
What questions should you ask a bookkeeper before hiring them?
