Popis: Trabalho realizado no âmbito da Unidade Curricular de Auditoria, do 4º Ano do Curso de Administração Militar (Exército e GNR), lecionada pelo Major de Administração Militar Artur Manuel Vieira Saraiva. Abstract Companies in the Private Sector struggle every day to remain competitive and to have sustainable growth. So, they need to push their costs to a minimum and their revenue to a maximum, increasing their profit. A big chunk of a company’s costs and losses may be due to errors or frauds, putting in jeopardy its own survivability. However, the implementation of an internal control system will effectively reduce the probabilities of frauds and errors to occur, by establishing preventive measures such as settling regular checks on the activities, assuring that every worker understands the policies and procedures, and analyzing periodically the accounting information to detect any deviations.
