Separation of duties is when you have more than one person doing or completing a task or a job. Separation of duties is an internal act used to control and prevent fraud. This will reduce fraud because each employee has a separate task to focus all of there attention on. Redundancy is a good control because it allows employees to look at the same transactions. This will help elevate fraud because you will have more than one eyes looking at the same transaction. Centralized process allows for a tighter control over the inventory.
