2.5 CPE Over the past several years, the concepts of internal controls have undergone a change. They are still as important as ever but with all the new technology and work habits, it is even more critical that individuals have a strong understanding of controls and how to identify and use them.
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.
A previous course “The Manager’s Responsibility for Internal Control," addressed these concepts at a higher level. This course further 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
Learning Objectives
- Explore basic concepts, myths and facts of Internal Controls (IC).
- Discover typical control types.
- Identify why controls fail.
- Identify a framework to develop the right balance of controls.
- Explore the differences between automated and manual controls.

This was a great overview of how a company should identify and implement internal controls. The instructor broke down information regarding the different types of controls that companies typically use and analyzed pros and cons for the various control types and methodology. I especially appreciated the charts and graphs regarding the risk profile process as it provided a good flowchart of how to determine the best controls for each organization.

This course provided great information regarding assessing and implementing a good balance of internal controls. It helped clarify what to assess, what to consider, and how to identify what an appropriate level of risks and controls might be for an organization depending on the organization's attitude toward risk. Lynn makes these concepts very easy to understand. I highly recommend this course and am looking forward to her other courses.
