Identifying the Proper Balance of Internal Controls




Identifying the Proper Balance of Internal Controls

Internal Controls (IC) are in place for a reason. They help maintain the control environment and establish efficient and effective processes. They also serve as a mitigation technique for identifying when processes have changed and when procedures need to be adjusted. In today’s business world, all personnel must understand the concept of internal control, how they should be utilized and their benefits. 

The purpose and value of internal controls are often misunderstood and misapplied by management. Internal controls should be viewed as a value-oriented activity that assists the organization in the effective execution of its objectives. Properly designed and executed controls are the key to ensuring this view.

This course explores the types of ICs, how they can be properly utilized and the cost benefit considerations for implementation.

Internal control is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following areas:

  • Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
  • Reliability of financial reporting
  • Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
  • Safeguarding assets
