Internal Controls Toolkit (Wiley Corporate F&A)

Beyond the great introduction and tools in the appendix, I liked the fact that it was organized with key sections for different functions...and not just from an accounting perspective. The fact that examples were given in each section makes it very understandable. I could envision using it as part of an ongoing training process for staff. I intend to use key elements from the book to assist a colleague with a masters level seminar he is giving in the next few months.

Excellent book that's used as part of our finance training program.

I was really excited to get this book thinking I will dive deeper into the mechanics and dynamics of internal controls and this book was nothing but a huge disappointment. It is a collection of one liner bullet points outlining internal controls and separate lot of bullet points outlining the risks associated with non-compliance without any paragraph bridging the gap and explaining the context. The first few pages of the book has exceptionally basic level of information on internal controls and why organizations need them followed by a few lines on exceptionally basics like SOX, FCPA and the like. Now if you are looking for the above, this is the book for you. However, if you are looking to gain knowledge and dive deeper to become a champion on Internal Controls, then this book is definitely not what you should be pursuing. I returned my book within the first hour of receiving it. If this book was priced at $1, sure, I could keep it. This book is priced at $75, and one should expect quality content for that price and this book miserably fails at providing high quality content for the price it is asking for.
