Internal audit allows to ensure high-quality accounting of payments to employees, which is important in determining labor productivity indicators and ways to improve it. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological basis with the development of practical recommendations for improving the methodology of internal audit of employee benefits in order to improve the detailed audit content. It has been established that in order to ensure the correct and high-quality organization of internal audit, it is advisable to provide for the establishment of the internal audit service as a separate subdivision, providing the necessary number of accountants and auditors in the staff. The methodology of the internal audit of payroll has been improved in order to provide a detailed explanation of the content of the audit. The main objects of the internal audit of employee benefit calculations have been singled out. The sequence of the employee benefit calculations audit was determined.

Using new changes and suggestions will allow the company’s internal audit service to cover all aspects of accounting and reporting on employee benefits. Preparation results of the internal audit of payments to employees in the form of proposed working documents will ensure that the results of the audit correspond to the actual state of Affairs at the enterprise and ensure the availability of information during the next audit.

Control Mechanisms

In an attempt to bridge the gap between the budgetary allocations and actual expenditures most universities have started income generating units with the aim of boosting their operational expenses. Whereas there is the potential of the use of Income Generating Units (IGUs) to generate additional funds, most universities still experience challenges in full implementation and realization of the revenue goal. This study therefore sought to determine the financial control mechanisms affecting performance of income generating units among selected public universities. The study sought to determine the effect of internal controls, credit policies, financial risk management and internal audit on performance of income generating units in selected universities. Targeted population was all the 290 employees in the IGU departments of selected public universities. The respondents were sampled using simple random sampling so as to enable equal representation of the target population without any biasness. Data collection was done using the questionnaire to ensure sufficient data was collected from the respondents. Descriptive statistics assisted in the determination of respondent’s views and opinions on every variable. Qualitative data was analysed using content analysis into meaningful, precise and comprehensive statements and presented in quotations. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 21 and data presented in form of figures and tables. The study ensured that all ethical considerations were considered by the study. The findings were that most employed Income Generating Units in Public Universities were Collection of rental fees, Evening and executive programs and Trainings of both short and long courses while the least was established to be Sales of memorabilia and books. All the financial control mechanism investigated namely internal audit, internal control measures, risk management strategies and credit policies had large extents of adoption in the selected universities. The results of the regression analysis showed that the financial control mechanisms investigated had a significant positive relationship on performance of the IGUs. Specifically, 47% of the variation of the performance of IGUs was established to be explained by the studied factors. The study concluded that the performance of the IGUs among the selected public universities was largely accounted for by the implemented financial control measures. Therefore effective financial control mechanisms is concluded to lead to better IGU performance whereas shortcomings in the financial control mechanisms is concluded to lead to diminished returns in the IGUs. The study recommended that the management in charge of the IGU department in the public universities to prioritize the formulation, implementation and monitoring of financial control mechanisms in the IGUs. To facilitate effective financial controls, the study recommended that the management especially those in the audit section to conduct regular checks and inspections on the IGUs. Additionally, frequent reforms were recommended to address the shortcomings experienced in integrating financial control measures in IGUs.

A atividade de auditoria interna exercida pela Secretaria Federal de Controle Interno (SFC), que exerce a função de órgão central do Sistema de Controle Interno do Poder Executivo Federal (Scipef), pode estar sujeita a uma baixa padronização e depender fortemente de iniciativas e da motivação pessoal de seus auditores. Considerando o papel fundamental exercido pelas auditorias internas no fortalecimento dos processos de governança das organizações, a presente pesquisa se propôs a investigar a função desse tipo de auditoria no âmbito do Executivo Federal brasileiro, analisando se o nível de capacidade em que se encontra indica a institucionalização e a aplicação uniforme de suas práticas. Diante disso, formulou-se a seguinte questão de pesquisa: o nível de capacidade da atividade de auditoria interna (AAI) exercida pelo Órgão Central do Sistema de Controle Interno do Poder Executivo Federal, a partir da aplicação do Internal Audit Capability Model for the Public Sector (IA-CM), indica a institucionalização e aplicação uniforme de suas práticas? Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza exploratória. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de revisão documental. Os resultados indicam que a aplicação do Modelo permite a identificação de pontos de melhoria nos processos de auditoria interna atualmente desenvolvidos pela SFC. Ademais, verificou-se que a AAI exercida por esse Órgão não alcançou o nível de capacidade 2, ou seja, áreas de processos principais de auditoria interna previstas pelo Instituto dos Auditores Internos não são implementadas, ou são executadas, mas não estão institucionalizadas ou inseridas na cultura do Órgão.Palavras-chave: Auditoria interna governamental. Governança. Gerenciamento de riscos. Modelos de maturidade.
