INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING
Many stakeholders acknowledge that it’s not just the accuracy of the numbers that is
important; now, organizations also must prove their internal controls in the financial
reporting process are effective. Evaluating ICOFR begins with a clear definition of internal
controls, and the COSO definition (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations) is the most
widely-used definition in the world. COSO has been written into the ICOFR regulations in
many countries as the model, or framework, of internal controls you must use. To comply
with ICOFR regulations, an organization must understand the financial reporting process,
the COSO internal control framework, how to identify the most important financial
reporting risks, and how to test both the manual and automated financial reporting
controls to be sure they work on a continuing basis.
