Why VRAT..?
Segregation of Duty (SOD) Concept
SOD is primary internal control to prevent the risk, identify problem and take corrective action.
Achieved by assuring no single individual has control over all phases of business transactions.
Covers 4 general categories of duties:
– Authorization
– Custody
– Record Keeping
– Reconciliation
In an ideal system, different employees perform different operations.
In other words, no single employees should have control over two or more of these responsibilities.
Specially, when dealing with Cash, negotiable checks and inventories.
SOD is quiet challenging in small organizations.
Some example of inconsistent SOD:
– Creating and approving POs
– Receiving checks and approving write-offs
– Depositing cash in Bank and reconciling bank statements.
SOD and VRAT

Define and Monitor all SOD related conflicts.
Proactive prevention of SOD conflicts.
