Internal Control
Aligned with business requirements
The finance function traditionally focuses on transaction processing,
financial reporting, business support and Internal Control. One of the major
pitfalls is lack of consistency of Internal Control measures, objectives and
strategy with business requirements.
This causes inefficiency and ineffectiveness in realizing objectives on both
control side as business side.
Internal Control starts with business strategy and related value drivers.
Transaction processing and related financial reporting outcomes serve as
a requirement to fulfill value creation.
Internal Control is the entity process to secure effective business
operations, reliable and timely financial reporting and comply to rules &
regulations. Business process alignment is a key factor to accomplish
effective Internal Control in every organization.
