2 CPE Also known as Separation of Duties, Segregation of Duties is a crucial aspect of risk management, as well as SOX compliance. Organizations must continue to identify the inherent risk that exist in the absence of effective segregation and ensure that suitable mitigation controls are implemented.
Segregation of duties (SOD) is the cornerstone of strong internal control. Inability to maintain proper SOD can hamper an organization's ability to deliver service efficiently. Personnel often struggle with the proper concepts of what contributes to SOD. When resources are scarce, the concept is even more difficult.
A separate course titled “Segregation of duties for the office of the CFO” highlighted why and how the office of the CFO should pay special attention to segregation of duties (SOD). This course delves deeper into core business processes and examine the concepts of which duties should be segregated to provide adequate internal control.
The basics of segregation of duties indicates that no one individual should be given or assigned job functions in more than one of the following categories:
- Asset custody
- Authorization and approval
- Recordkeeping
- Reconciliation
This course examines each of the following business processes and discuss key roles/tasks that should be evaluated for proper segregation of duties.
- Revenue and receivables
- Disbursement
- Procure to pay
- Treasury and cash
- Inventory
- Payroll
Learning Objectives
- Explore the definition of segregation of duties (SOD), and recognize how it applies to roles and processes.
- Identify risks of inadequate SOD.
- Recognize how SOD applies to individual business processes.
- Identify SOD opportunities in role assignments.
- Discover control mechanisms.

There is a book titled "The Speed of Trust" that supports the idea that when you trust your employees you can get more done in less amount of time. I guess each company has to determine if the risk of fraud is worth the time to implement SODs. This course is a good reminder of the importance of segregation of duties no matter how much a company may trust its employees.

Great overview of the importance of SOD for any organization, regardless of business function. I always enjoy Lynn's courses as she consistently presents the contents in an engaging and easy-to-comprehend manner.

I enjoyed listening to the real-life examples provided by the instructor. The quiz was also helpful in preparations for the final exam. I would recommend taking this course yearly.

This can be a confusing topic. The instructor was clear on the purpose of segregation of duties and additionally how to design a transaction cycle to consider proper segregation of duties. More than once she reminded us that each organization is different and you need to understand the organization.

I enjoyed this course. It really breaks down what roles the employees should play to maintain SOD. Unless it is explained, it's easy to get lost in why certain employees aren't allowed to perform certain duties. It really brings to light how it keeps the organization safe from fraud.

Good course, appropriate level of detail however there were a few sections that got confusing and the information seemed to conflict or not be as clear as it could be (recording vs. recordkeeping vs. reconciliation used interchangeably but then specific in some areas)

Smaller organizations always have a challenge when it comes to separation of duties. Unfortunately, subsidiary operating units of larger corporations are usually subjected to the same challenges as smaller companies because of mandates from above limiting resources.

This actually helped me see where we can improve SOD in our organization, which have been areas I have felt uncomfortable with, being the only person to have 'eyes on' these areas. I have encouraged our director to have a glance, but she is not always interested.
