You know what they say, 'cash is king.' Investing excess funds in short-term securities is a bit risky if the finance director is the only one handling it.

Ha! I bet the finance director is having a field day with those investment transactions. Talk about a recipe for disaster!

I agree, an internal audit department is a must. It can also help uncover any fraudulent activities within the company.

I believe completing a physical inventory of non-current assets annually would also be beneficial. It would help in detecting any discrepancies and ensure accuracy in the asset register.
