Segregation of duties means splitting responsibilities within a process between different individuals or parts of an organisation, to reduce the risk of fraud.


A prime number is a positive whole number that is divisible only by itself and 1.
Having dual controls, for example:
*Capture by one person & verification or review by another person
*Segregating tasks between departments.  


Some encryption systems make use of very large prime numbers, for example RSA encryption.


In a larger organisation each of the following departments cannot perform tasks for other departments, each is separate - front office, risk management, compliance, legal, operations, finance,
etc.
Within each department, responsibilities are split & access rights to systems & information is on a need to have basis to perform the tasks.


Examples of small prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.

Segregation of duties means splitting responsibilities within a process between different individuals or parts of an organisation, to reduce the risk of fraud.

Having dual controls, for example:

  • Capture by one person & verification or review by another person
  • Segregating tasks between departments.


In a larger organisation each of the following departments cannot perform tasks for other departments, each is separate - front office, risk management, compliance, legal, operations, finance, etc. Within each department, responsibilities are split & access rights to systems & information is on a need to have basis to perform the tasks.
