The concept of internal control

Broad acceptance – internal control is the answer to the question “what can be done to have the best control over the activities?” Definition: “Internal control is the set of policies and procedures designed and implemented by management and staff of the public entity to provide reasonable assurance of: Achieving the objectives of the public entity in an economical, efficient and effective manner; compliance with external rules and policies and management rules; protecting goods and information; preventing and detecting fraud and mistakes; the quality of accounting documents and the timely production of reliable information about the financial and management segment. ”

The five elements of internal control are:

  • Defining and representing the control environment
  • Performance and risk management
  • Information and communication
  • Control activities (scorecard, benchmarking, risk monitoring, etc.)
  • Auditing and evaluation

The current legislation establishes “Internal Control Standards” which are a minimum set of management rules that must be applied in any public entity; This regulation of the internal management / control standards seeks, on the one hand, to create a unitary and coherent management model for public entities and, on the other hand, to use standards as a reference system against which quality is assessed management systems of public entities.

The SMART SCIM BSC GRC solution provides the Mobius BSC GRC component to define Balanced Score Card items:    

The proposed IT solution manages and uses as a basis the four perspectives:         

Financial Perspective        

Customer Perspective         

Operational Perspective (Processes and Management Systems)         

Development Learning Perspective (Resources)     

Obviously, the impact on predictable evolution is conditioned by the factors: Political, Economic, Socio-Cultural, Technology, Environment, Legislative …

Besides the strategic approach of the management of the organization, one can consider the integration of the concepts of Balanced Score Card and of the Organizational Risk Management.
