| Accounting term: | Incompatible duties |
| Definition: | Internal control systems rely on separation of certain duties to reduce the chance of errors or fraud. Duties are incompatible if they should be separated for control. For example, one person should not be in a position to both embezzle funds and to hide the embezzlement by changing the recorded accountability. |
