Payroll
Maker-checker
Separation of duties — the person who runs or creates something can't also approve it.
Maker-checker is a control that requires two different people: one to create or run (the maker) and a different one to approve (the checker). In payroll it means whoever runs the payroll, or creates a payment batch, can't also approve it — reducing fraud and error.
