   CPA Australia's Policy Adviser for Treasury and Finance, Ms Susan Campbell said, 'The guide is a reference for companies to compare and assess the adequacy of their internal controls for treasury.
   ...
   Ms Campbell said, 'Many SMEs have a one person treasury unit and all risks and responsibilities for the companies' treasury function often fall on to that person. SMEs often don't conduct audit reviews, hire specialist staff or have treasury systems so the guide will be a useful aid for them.'

   To help reduce financial risks to small businesses, accountants Susan Campbell and Judy Hartcher have designed a course and co-written a CPA Australia guide entitled Internal Controls for Small Business.
   ...
   Campbell and Hartcher were prompted to create this program after a CPA Australia survey of 600 businesses in 2003 revealed that 28 per cent had experienced fraud in the past two years - yet only a third had any internal controls in place.
   ...
   Campbell, CPA Australia's finance and treasury policy adviser, says: "Many small businesses are too complacent. They don't worry about managing risk when they're having a boom time and are going well. It's only when it's too late, when they've made that really bad error, that they wish they'd put in preventative measures."
   
   Many small businesses also rely too heavily on one employee to run a facet of the business, and when that employee is ill or makes a mistake the whole system can fall down, says Campbell. She also says businesses need to change the culture that says it's wrong for employees to dob in their mates. "Instead, employers should reward whistleblowers and employees who spot errors and prevent losses for the company," she says.

   Judy Hartcher, who will speak at the Small Business Show in Melbourne, and Susan Campbell have devised a list of controls to improve the accuracy of businesses' information and help safeguard assets.
