INTERNAL CONTROL APPLIED IN THE
ORGANIZATIONS.
Organization to function successfully, constantly improve the level of
profitability, preserve and develop its assets, the debugged mechanism of
management is necessary, which is the most important tool which performs
internal control.
Internal control is a process, which is carried governing body of the
organization or other employees of the organization, in order to obtain
information relating to the three objectives:
1. Efficient and
rational activities;
2. The reliability
of financial reporting;
3. Compliance with
laws and regulations.
The internal
control system is a set of organizational structure, the method of procedures
that have been adopted by management entity as a means for the orderly and
efficient conduct business activities, which includes encompasses organized
within a given economic entity of its own supervision and verification of
compliance with the legislation, the accuracy of documentation completeness
accounting, timely preparation of reliable financial statements, prevent errors
and distortions, execution of orders and instructions to ensure the safety of
property of the organization [1].
The purpose of the
internal control system is the timely prevention of irrational or improper
actions, as well as errors in the processing of information.
The internal
control system includes several related components:
1. Control
environment - can give an overall assessment of the organization, its policies
and procedures;
2. Risk assessment
- the identification of the direction of the risks;
3. Information and
network - represents the methods that are used to classify and reflection
operations and communications roles and responsibilities;
4. Monitoring - is
a procedure that is necessary in order to assess the quality of the application
of the internal control system on a regular basis;
5. Existing control
procedures - policies and procedures are established to ensure the objectives
of management that are achieved.
Considering the
improvement of the internal control on the example of JSC "International Education
Corporation." Internal control in the JSC "International Education
Corporation" can perform both individual staff members (managers,
accountants, economists), and specially established by Audit Commission.
. The management of JSC
International Educational Corporation, develops effective system of internal
control, tries to consider the most different circumstances, also circumstances
which enter the auditor's task according to system of internal control of the
enterprise.
Management
accounting in the enterprise require different information about all aspects of
the planning and conduct of the work of the educational process and the
financial side.
Accounting about
which the auditor presents an audit report to the management of the enterprise
is limited by a legal framework of Laws
and Provisions which contain requirements about the purposes, system, methods,
terms and forms of accounting reports of the enterprise [2].
Developing an
effective system of internal control management of JSC "International
educational corporation" has the following objectives:
1. Provision of
reliable information of the university management and the adoption of the most
effective and timely management decisions.
For example, if the
reduced set of applicants, which makes the selection committee, it is necessary
to timely provide teachers for pre-vocational guidance in order to control the
future income of the university.
2. Ensure safety of
assets, documents and enterprise registers.
Tangible assets in
the enterprise should be protected by a reliable control system in order to
prevent their theft, use of inappropriate use or accidental destruction.
A serious
protection and control also requires receivables, important documents, which
include agreements and contracts, as well as registers of accounting (general
ledger and journals).
Since computer
systems are constantly evolving, it is necessary to take appropriate steps to
preserve the volume of information stored on computer media.
3. Ensuring the
effectiveness of economic activity avoid involuntary costs in all areas of
economic activity, and to prevent inefficient use of all other resources.
There are cases
where the costs of the tasks referred to in the first and second paragraph, in
numerical terms, exceed the possible profits that the company will be able to
receive as a result of the proposed activities. It follows from this, at first
glance, that the activities referred to in the first and second paragraphs, may
not be effective. But the rejection of the implementation of the proposed
measures to provide reliable information and the safeguarding of assets and
registers can lead to irreparable losses. So stakeholders will lose or steal
data on the quantity and price of delivered raw materials, it is possible to
decrease the competitiveness of their products.
4. Ensuring
compliance to the ordered registration principles.
The system of
internal control has to provide necessary degree of confidence that officials
and employees of the enterprise strictly adhere to requirements and rules which
are fixed by internal documents of the enterprise. It is possible to carry to
such documents:
- regulations on
department, service, other divisions of this enterprise;
- duty regulations
of heads, managers and specialists of the enterprise;
- order on
accounting policies of the enterprise;
- orders and orders
of the CEO and other heads who have been published according to their
competence.
5. Ensuring
implementation of requirements of laws and other legal acts of RK and
authorities at implementation of financial and economic activities.
Internal control of
the enterprise, as a rule, is based on control functions of the head of each
division. Continuous control of results of work of the subordinates belongs to
duties of each head. Also all functional features of each unit manager in the
field of control of the organization are considered. The role and functions of
internal control are defined by the organization depending on specifics and the
content of activity of the organization, volumes of indicators of financial and
economic activity, control system, condition of internal control.
The effectiveness
of the internal control system of JSC "International Education
Corporation" largely depends on what kind of a place in the enterprise
management system, it occupies and the principles on which it is carried out
the work.
The efficiency of
the company in the field of production and financial performance is largely dependent
on the correctness of internal control system in the enterprise and continuous
improvement of its structure [3].
Intraeconomic
control of JSC "International Education Corporation" is assigned to
the Audit Commission. But as shown by
many years of experience in a modern market economy, leadership can ignore the
control or intentionally cause false information in the financial statements.
. To eliminate this possible
violation in the field of business management is necessary to create, instead
of the Audit Commission of the internal control, as an independent unit, the
control unit. The purpose of the control unit is to ensure the most efficient
operation of all services to protect the legitimate interests of the property
owners of the enterprise. Depending on the scope and purpose of internal
control functions can be assigned to a special service or individual
professional auditor or audit committee, to ensure the effectiveness of
internal controls, both from the functional units, as well as from the accounting
department.
In JSC
"International Education Corporation" An effective organizational
structure. This structure is most fully and accurately delineates the
responsibilities and powers between its employees. This structure should as far
as possible prevent the attempts of individuals to violate the requirements of
monitoring and enforcing separation of incompatible functions. Incompatible functions are
those functions which the concentration of one person contributes to the
commission of random errors and irregularities. Such an example may be the
enterprise that carries both an accountant payroll and clearance for the sale
of production operations. Even given the fact that the organizational structure
of the enterprise is fully consistent with its activity, but to eliminate the
possible adverse disturbances, the management of the enterprise is necessary to
increase the control over the activities of persons who are carrying out the
implementation of incompatible functions.
Also, the company
needs to increase the control of management of the company as a cashier. That
cashier is responsible for the safety of cash and correctness of expenditure
and receipt of orders, on which the cash flows at the enterprises.
Recruitment is also
important to improve the efficiency of control in the enterprise. That staff is
an important aspect of the control system. If workers are highly professional,
honest, trustworthy, and they are fully satisfied with the existing system of
remuneration, incentives and rewards for their results of operations, even in
the presence of other control weaknesses in any case will the relatively low
probability of misstatements in the financial statements. In the opposite
situation, incompetent, dishonest employees can negate the effectiveness of any
control system.
At JSC
International Educational Corporation there is an automated form of maintaining
the account. Therefore many documents and records at the enterprise are stored
in a form of computer files and printed out only in the information purposes.
At the same time supporting documents on the basis of which record has been
made matter the supporting document. Therefore one of offers of effective
system of internal control is that the enterprise needs to appoint access for
persons to information carriers.
The tests are
carried out to confirm the reliability of financial statements, must
immediately cover all areas of the company, rather than a single activity. For
the most effective implementation of the internal control organization should
be used not only to control such practices as price control, planned targets,
mode of operation, the movement of assets, but also techniques such as
planning, monitoring.
It is necessary to
pay great attention to the most important processes and indicators (output,
supply, implementation and so on.), internal reporting, internal audit, and so
on. The most important tool is the controlling, the essence of which lies in
the planning and forecasting activities of company. It is designed for the
control of certain parameters of the manufacturing process.
The effectiveness
of the new control system depends on the continuous improvement of its
structure.
The internal
control system, as if it was not well organized, can certainly prevent any
negative trends due to the influence of a number of limitations inherent in any
control system:
- The possibility
of error;
- The possibility
of abuse, including collusion between controlled and controlling persons;
- Improper
interference in the management of the work of the internal control system.
An example of such
interference can be process related to computer programs. So a computer program
can put a protective program that will block the introduction of an amount that
exceeds a certain value, and requires no special allegiance to confirm the
operation. Accountant usually lock perceives as a fault in the program invites
professional who unlocks. As a result, it may be noted that if the company
wants to work effectively, it is necessary to continuously improve the internal
control system.
