Internal Inspections of Cash Centers
We conduct in-depth internal inspections of cash centres to assess security measures, workflows, and operational integrity. Our inspections cover:
Vault Areas & Security Protocols – Evaluation of the physical security measures, including vault construction, access control, and storage policies. We evaluate the construction, layout, and security of vault areas, including door ratings, locking mechanisms, duress systems, and access policies. Our focus is on physical resilience, compliance with industry standards, and safeguarding high-value assets.
Access Control Systems – Review of biometric authentication, keycard systems, and staff access protocols to prevent unauthorised entry.
CCTV & Alarm Systems – Assessment of surveillance coverage, camera placement, monitoring protocols, and alarm response mechanisms.
Software & IT Systems – Examination of cash management software, tracking systems, and cybersecurity measures to ensure seamless and secure operations.
Workflow & Process Efficiency
We analyse end-to-end cash processing workflows from receipt and counting to reconciliation and dispatch. This helps identify bottlenecks, security risks in handling procedures, and opportunities for operational improvements that reduce exposure and increase efficiency.
Common Mistakes in Cash Handling
Businesses often make mistakes when moving cash and valuables due to weak communication lines and ineffective protocols. Group Risk Solutions helps you avoid these pitfalls by identifying vulnerabilities and implementing robust security measures.
Risk Assessment & Compliance Reviews
Threat & Vulnerability Analysis - We identify potential risks within the cash centre environment, including internal theft, fraud, procedural weaknesses, and security lapses. Each threat is analysed in context to recommend targeted risk mitigation strategies.
Regulatory Compliance Review - We assess compliance with relevant national and international standards governing cash centre operations, including physical security, personnel controls, and secure data handling protocols.
Internal Audits - Our experts evaluate internal audit procedures, both scheduled and surprise-based, to ensure oversight mechanisms are effective and that operational practices are continuously scrutinised for risk exposure.
Fraud Prevention & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) - We examine the centre’s fraud detection frameworks, employee monitoring systems, and AML compliance measures, ensuring all financial activities are conducted lawfully and transparently.
