With a median loss of $150,000, it is noted in this article that 42% of fraud in small businesses could have been prevented by implementing internal controls. Where do your controls measure up?

Email inbox out of control? Establish rules - Journal of Accountancy
If your email is anything like ours, it needs a little discipline. By implementing rules, you decide what shows up in your inbox and what takes priority. After implementing just a few of these rules, you will likely regain a little more freedom.
