controls. Every one of you contributes to upholding integrity, respect,
dedication, and compassion that our customers need. So, we can continue
to improve and excel in all of these areas, I
would like to educate everyone on the importance of these internal
controls and address the five ma

in elements to have a strong foundation
and guideline. Internal control is a procedure or policy put in place by management to safegaurd assets,
promote accountability, increase efficiency, and stop fraudulent
behavior. No two systems of internal controls in different companies are
identical, but there are many core philosophies upholding financial
integrity and proper accounting practices. Lets take a look at the five
interrelated components of the internal control system:1. Control EnvironmentControl environment is a product of the management’s philosophy,
style and supportive attitude, as well as the competence, ethical
values, integrity, and morale of the organization’s people. The
organization’s structure and accountability relationships are key
factors in the control environment.2. Risk ManagementRisk assessment is the process of identifying, evaluating and
determining how to manage events that threaten the accomplishment of a
companies objectives. Not all risks can be prevented. Management must
decide whether to accept the risk, reduce the risk to acceptable levels
or avoid the risk all together.3. Control ActivitiesControl activities are tools in which the company uses to help
prevent or reduce the risks that can impede accomplishments of the
organization’s objectives and mission. These tools can include
documentation, authorization, supervision, safegaurding assets, and computer system controls like backup, passwords, and input-output controls.4. Information and CommunicationThis is the extraction and exchange of useful information between
employees and even customers, suppliers, and regulators. Information
should be used to communicate between and among people to support
decisions and coordinate activities within a company.5. MonitoringMonitoring is the review of an organizations activities and
transactions to assess the quality of performance over time and to
determine whether controls are effective. Monitoring is most effective
when all employees understand the organization’s mission, objectives,
and responsibilities and risk tolerance levels.The internal control systems helps an organization safeguard assets,
operate efficiently, ensure proper financial reports, and is in
compliance with laws and regulations while stopping fraudulent behavior.
Lets all continue to support our internal controls by keeping our best
foot forward and upholding the five main elements.Your supervisors are helpful tools if any questions, comments, or
