We check before we deliver. Prevention, Detection and Action.
Our internal control exists to catch a mistake before it reaches a tax return. We call it PDA: Prevention, Detection and Action.
How the PDA process works
Three phases. The third only closes when the procedure changes.
Prevention
Clear procedures, detailed work instructions and templates that reduce the chance of the mistake happening.
- Prevention Clear procedures, detailed work instructions and templates that reduce the chance of the mistake happening.
- Detection Checks and cross-reviews that catch deviations from the expected standard.
- Action Correcting the deviation and adjusting the procedure, so that the same mistake doesn't happen again.
What we measure
Without a standard there is no deviation. These are our reference points.
Time and productivity
How long each task takes and how much it is reasonable to produce without losing quality.
Cost and quality
What it costs to do things well and the level of quality we take as acceptable.
Behaviour and premises
What we expect from each person and from the conditions they work in.
Replicable in your business
The procedures we use internally can be adapted to your company.
