From the Paper:
"Federal policymakers and management are constantly looking for more effective ways of achieving entities' missions and objectives through improved accountability. The implementation of effective internal controls is an integral part in achieving these goals. "Internal controls are systems of policies and procedures that protect the assets of an organization, create reliable financial reporting, promote compliance with laws and regulations and achieve effective and efficient operations." (Cuomo, 2005, p. 2) Due to the recent scandals of Enron and others companies, entities' are now required to establish and maintain adequate internal control structures which will be used to assess the effectiveness of the company. Strengths of a company are seen through the policies and procedures that managers enforce in order to maintain the integrity of the company. Preventive controls are designed to avoid errors or irregularities from happening, once and error has occurred, detective controls are designed to identify the undesirable outcome, and corrective controls are designed to keep the occurrence from reoccurring (Ohio University, 2007, 3-5)."Sample of Sources Used:
