The internal control system (ICS) organized in insurance companies in the context of the development of innovative processes and the digitalization of the economy does not always meet the requirements of the modern industry, which leads to the need to assess the effectiveness of the ICS and its compliance with new standards. This position involves the modernization of essential theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation and implementation of the audit model of the effectiveness of internal control of companies. The article is devoted to the issue of introducing new approaches to the performance audit of ICS in insurance companies, based on the construction of a block-modular scheme, which should be translated into certain modules. The block-modular scheme proposed by the author can be used to assess the ICS and identify the risks of insurance companies. The studies were based on the existing options for the methodological construction of assessing the effectiveness of the internal control and audit system. The presented model sets a benchmark in the field of risk assessment and verification of the internal control system. The effectiveness of the new approach in assessing the effectiveness of the ICS is evidenced by the fact that the description of the specifics of the activities of insurance companies, as well as the compilation of a register of possible risks for planning the audit of the effectiveness of the internal control system lead to remarkable results that allow truly assessing the effectiveness of the ICS. Areas and methods of audit, control procedures, relationships between business processes and relationships between employees, which were not noticed or were ranked as unimportant events, turn out to be key for the effective operation of the company and the conduct of internal control at a high professional level. The advantage of the block-modular model of the audit of the effectiveness of the ICS of the insurance company is that the correct and accurate route of the work of the controlling body is built, the control flags are correctly placed at all the stages of the audit, which implies that there are no delays at one stage or another and the identification of shortcomings in the work of the internal control. Today we are talking not at all about the quality of insurance services, but rather about the quality of the insurance business, its organization and timely adaptability to changes in the environment of the insured. In this regard, the development of the methodology for assessing the ICS of insurance companies requires new approaches and models

The conduct of financial and economic activities of organizations, both budgetary and commercial, is associated with possible risks of non-compliance with the current legislation, making unreasonable management decisions by the top and middle management, which leads to reputational and financial losses. In order to forestall financial and reputational losses, organizations form an internal control system. In the Russian Federation, the formation of normative and legislative regulation of the organization and conduct of internal financial control and audit is taking place, both in relation to commercial organizations and organizations of the budgetary sphere. The article examines the order of organization, types, tasks of internal control and audit in various organizations. The organization of internal control and audit is considered in the article through the prism of legal regulation of this area in the Russian Federation and international regulations. The internal audit system, as an obligatory element of the management system, has been introduced in the banking sector and for public sector organizations. For commercial organizations, this issue is left to the management of the organization and the creation of an internal audit service is optional. The regulatory and legislative framework of the organization and methods of conducting internal control for organizations have been studied. The approaches to the organization and conduct of internal control have been investigated from the point of view of orientation towards possible risks. Based on the results of the study, the article concludes that the presence of an effectively functioning internal control system, which is based on an assessment of possible risks, contributes to an increase in the efficiency of the organization, the prevention of cases of fraud by the organization’s personnel, and an increase in the reliability of accounting, tax and other types of reporting

Internal control delivers guarantee and trust for investors, clients, suppliers, but also for the entity’s employees and other interested parties. As a result, an effective internal control system has a significant impact on the credibility of a modern entity and its activities, which is ensured by the entity’s management, through an appropriate process of evaluating the effectiveness of internal control. On the basis of those exposed, we sustain the opinion shared by many experts in the field, that the primary role in evaluating the internal control system is attributed to internal audit, because in line with current development trends, it supports the entity in maintaining effective controls by evaluating efficiency and effectiveness. As well as by promoting biased business actions. In this connection, the authors approach the study of the basic aspects of the internal control evaluation process in the light of the identification of the method, establishing and interpreting the indicators used in the evaluation, as well as determining the criteria and practical tools for evaluation. As a method of evaluation of internal control the systematic method of authors is proposed, which involves the evaluation of each component of it. This approach permits internal auditors to make an integrated consideration of the effectiveness of internal control in the entity of the internal control system in the good functioning of the entity, which contributes to the fulfillment of its strategic objectives. In addition, the research carried out highlights the performance of the assessment tool – the corresponding questionnaire, which was developed to evaluate the control environment of the entity and applied in the activity of public interest entities in the Republic of Moldova. This study offers the possibility to recognize the deficiencies within the control environment established at the entity and offers the possibility to the management of the entity to improve its functioning mechanism.
