According to Muola Otanka (1975) the spirit of continuity of a business is the careful administration that will administer the financial undertakings.  Really, the issue of financial impropriety has made many business collapsed. There are many ways to check the menace in both public and private life.  Any method used is subsumed in effective control system which primarily cues form internal control.

According to Jonah Jenny (198212) internal control can be perceived in the following ways:

-Good record keeping of all transaction in the shop and factory

-Acceptable party with government policies

-control of acquisitions

There, he said are not exhaustive. It is when management recognizes the necessity of effective internal control system management of material and resources is very much possible. Quoting the issue of bank distress.
