Administrative Organisation (AO) and Internal Control (IC)

The AO description is a live document that must be maintained.

Administrative Organisation (AO)

An AO description establishes the authorisations, regulations and procedures which make up the framework for the administrative process.

A solid AO ensures that the correct information will be available at the right time. This helps to enable the executive board and daily management to control and manage the organisation effectively.

Similarly, an AO forms the basis for rendering accounts to funding bodies, for example.

Internal Control (IC)

The internal control set-up is defined in the AO, which sets out the allocation of tasks and the required segregation of duties between decision making, implementation and record keeping.

A proactive approach

With over 30 years of experience in drafting AO descriptions, we can also ease you through the process in this area.

An AO description is by no means a static document, but rather needs to be updated regularly. In this too, you can expect a pro-active approach from us.
