Internal Controls: 

The internal controls used by F/EA to monitor this process establish responsibility, segregate duties, document procedures and ensure independent internal verification. 

The methods of internal control utilized by F/EA to distribute timesheets are:
  1. The payroll system is used to track that all employees are reported via the New Hire process.
  2. The control document is reviewed monthly to ensure that all employees have been reported via the new hire reporting process.
    • Any discrepancies are researched and resolved.
