The Case for Internal Controls

The current economic and business climate has caused organizations to face greater scrutiny around the handling of internal resources. As such, tax payers, government officials and regulators are demanding more transparency and accountability. In order to be more transparent and accountable, many organizations are examining their current internal practices, and are discovering performance gaps that are the result of weak internal controls and operational deficiencies within the organization; making them more vulnerable to failure.

Internal controls are the processes, enacted by an organization, that dictate work flow, define lines of authority, segregate duties, and establish proper use of tangible and intangible resources. Faulty management of these internal resources can destroy an organization. Strong internal controls provide valuable safeguards to uphold the integrity of established policies, processes and functions throughout the organization.
