Brief Introduction

This course further explores the types of ICs, how they can be properly utilized.

Description

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
