Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words...

A8 – Internal auditing functions provide a structure for responding to complaints or suggestions of financial misconduct. It is a part of internal controls, but it should not be the first or main line of defense. #EdFinChat

A7 – In addition to having staff reject non-compliant expenditures, having fiscal staff involved before spending can reduce the need for a late “no.” #EdFinChat

A6 – Ensuring the person who enters records is not the person who approves (or edits) them provides preventative internal controls. #EdFinChat

A5 – Reporting requirements that rely on a few people creates the most risk because turnover hinders seamless consistency. Keeping written process records ensures some institutional knowledge is passed along. #EdFinChat

A4 – Ensuring all staff members are providing some amount of Quality Review helps staff internalize the importance of internal controls. #EdFinChat

A3 – Regular Quality Reviews for all types of projects helps build trust from teammates and provides preventative internal controls. Multiple data sets or methodologies ensures analyses are accurate and consistent. #EdFinChat

A2 – Trust is an important hurdle for internals controls. Structures are not about a lack of trust, but organizational strength. #EdFinChat

A1 – Teams are an important part of internal controls. A culture of teamwork is a first step to get buy-in for internal controls because everyone is supported. #EdFinChat

@kelly_lave @StephenPihlaja Fridge is a good place to keep your keys if you don't want to forget something stored there. Or a good place to lose your keys in frustration and panic.

Thanks for all the thanks today, warms my miserable, stone heart! Now, has anyone seen my goddamn house key?
