Step-by-step guidance on creating internal controls to manage risk
Internal control is a process for assuring achievement of an
organization's objectives in operational effectiveness and efficiency,
reliable financial reporting, and compliance with laws, regulations, and
policies.
This is a "toolkit" approach that addresses a practical need for a
series of standards of internal controls that can be used to mitigate
risk within any size organization. Inadequate internal controls can
cause a myriad of problems that adversely affect its ability to provide
reliable, timely, and useful financial and managerial data needed to
support operating, budgeting, and policy decisions. Reliable data is
necessary to make sound business decisions.
