WAC 230-15-435. Defining "incompatible functions."

(1) "Incompatible functions" means job duties that place an employee or department in a position to commit and conceal errors or wrongdoings in the normal course of his or her duties. (2) Anyone who records a transaction and has access to the assets related to that transaction is in a position to commit and conceal errors or wrongdoings. (Examples: An employee who writes checks should not reconcile the bank account; an employee who transports funds should not have access to keys for locks securing the funds or to surveillance recordings of the transaction.)
