In absence of specific information regarding the chapter and book it is referred, i am presenting below the 3 general best internal control practice:

- The other practice could be to appoint external auditors to overlook the transactions on daily basis and advise management on the specified points
- The third practice could be to appoint Ombudsman who shall be responsible to address the grieviance of the employees or customers regarding an unethical practice being conducted by anyone in the company. This will help increase compliance and reduce the chances of wrongdoings
