Interne Kontrollsysteme (IKS) bilden heute ein wesentliches Element der Unternehmensüberwachung. Während sie in der Vergangenheit nahezu ausschließlich die Erfüllung rechnungslegungsbezogener Anforderungen sicherstellten, sollten IKS heute zunehmend weitere Ziele der Compliance und der Betrugsprävention erfüllen. Für die grundlegende strukturelle Ausgestaltung eines IKS steht mit COSO I „Internal Controls – Integrated Framework“ ein weltweit genutzter Standard zur Verfügung. Die Konzeption eines IKS im Detail sollte sich an den Unternehmensprozessen orientieren. Dieser Ansatz zeitigt verschiedene Vorteile. Durch einen prozessorientierten Überblick gelangen die Beteiligten nicht nur zu einem gemeinsamen IKS-Verständnis und einer Transparenz bezüglich des Zusammenwirkens der verschiedenen Überwachungsmaßnahmen, sondern es wird auch eine Weiterentwicklung des IKS durch eine kontinuierliche Prozessverbesserung sichergestellt und die Komplexität aus der Verbindung von Zielen, Prozessen, Risiken und zugehörigen Überwachungsmaßnahmen handhabbar gemacht. Nowadays, systems of internal control form an essential part of corporate monitoring. In the past, internal control focused predominantly on financial accounting. Today, this element is extended by goals of compliance and fraud prevention. The globally used standard COSO I „Internal Controls – Integrated Framework“ can serve as a basis for the overall design and implementation of an effective system of internal control. However, the detailed design of internal control systems should be customized to map the company’s business processes. This approach brings several benefits. All involved parties will be able to develop a common understanding of internal control. A process-oriented overview will provide transparency concerning the interaction of different control and surveillance measures. Additionally, the continuous improvement of processes will ensure a continuous refinement of internal control systems. Finally, the process-based approach makes the complex relationships of goals, processes, risks and according control measures manageable.

The Impact

Purpose: The aims of the study were to identify and evaluate the internal controls used in a computerized accounting system of the SMEs, to identify and evaluate the merits and demerits of the internal controls used in the companies, and to identify the challenges in the implementation of internal control systems in the computerized accounting system of the SMEs. Design/methodology/approach: The population of the study was the employees of the SME’s registered with Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) in Muscat, Oman. Samples were selected from this population on a random sampling basis. One-member employee from the SMEs representing the enterprise filled the questionnaire. The survey was conducted through a questionnaire using a Google form. 220 samples were collected from the population. The data collected was analyzed using data processing methods and Microsoft excel. Findings: The study found that SMEs were using computers to perform their daily transactions and the accounting software used by SMEs were cheap, of low quality and not proficient enough. One of the components of internal control system, i.e. monitoring was implemented by most of the SMEs and they also stated that they rarely hired an external auditor for auditing because of the expensive auditing fees. It was also stated that the security mechanisms were not properly implemented in the SMEs because of the expensive cost. Research limitations/implications: The study suggested that the Government should emphasize the SMEs to implement a good internal control system. This can reduce the errors and also increase the efficiency of operations. SOX in Omani context should be strictly implemented making it statutory and mandatory for all the SMEs in Oman and such statutory laws will help the auditors to abide by the rules and regulations to be followed. Social Implications : Government should support SMEs through providing education on the importance of internal control systems as most of the employees of SMEs are poorly educated/illiterates. The Government should set a price ceiling to the external auditors on the auditing fees exclusively for SMEs so that they can afford. Originality / Value: No study was carried before in relates to the impact of the internal control system through the computerized accounting system among the SMEs in Muscat, Oman. This study will through light on the statutory laws required for the sake of internal control measures required for the SMEs.

ABSTRACT This instructional case encourages analytical thinking about internal controls in both the operations and audit of a small, not-for-profit organization. Students examine a control environment characterized by unauthorized expenditures, lack of documentation, and missing documents. Using the COSO (2013) framework, students demonstrate understanding of business processes as they identify internal control risks and deficiencies, and recommend control improvements. Auditing students additionally apply management assertions about financial transactions and assess auditor independence. Students gain practical experience in developing flowcharts of accounting processes and writing a management letter for a familiar organization: a preschool.

Fraud Mitigation

Purpose The purpose of this study is to extend existing theory by developing a contingency theory for the public sector and to provide a landscape for local government to deal with white-collar crime. In recent years, the theme of risk management and internal controls, which is popular in the industry and private sector, has been mirrored by public sector organisations. Of course, it is to improve fraud risk control systems. We have to accept that public sector organisations have a growing need to control the (fraud) risks in a rapidly changing economic environment. Within this situation an effective internal control is becoming strategically important in many organisations, as it is proving to be a cost-efficient way to manage these risks in everyday operations. Here, the authors conducted a case study on the risk management control system at an Indonesian local government. Design/methodology/approach This study uses mixed methods, integrating quantitative and qualitative data – in-depth interviews and questionnaires were required to address the social phenomenon being investigated. Findings This study found that the structure of the control system fits a generic model, in which control systems are fundamental factors to all departments. It shows that control systems can support managers to align employee capabilities, activities and performance with the organisation’s goals and missions. In addition, the authors could identify, risk assessment and monitoring activities are effective measures of controlling organisation’s activities, and potentially could diagnose potential (fraud) risks, deterring to the achievement of organisational aims. Ideally, those aspects should be performed on a continuous basis if organisations want to prevent the spread of numerous potential menaces. In other words, if an organisation fails to carry out risk assessment correctly, it will result in unidentified possibility of fraud risks. The more explicit the risk assessment, the more effective the detection of fraud. Practical implications It can be alternative to consider Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s internal control as fraud mitigation in local government. Originality/value This study offers new directive discussion about internal controls as notion of fraud mitigation.

Internal control is important for company operational, especially for cash receipts and disbursements. The effective internal control of cash receipts and disbursements can prevent and detect the misappropriation of cash. The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of PSAK 23 at Mountain Marry Hospital regarding the recording, presentation, and recognition of hospital revenue that serves patients with the same actions but acknowledgment of payment of different rates between hospital rates and Indonesian-Case Based Groups (INACBG) rates, specifically for patients of the Implementing Agency Social Security (BPJS) Health. This research was conducted at Mountain Marry Hospital to analyze and to apply the recording, presentation, and recognition of income standards that exist at Mountain Marry Hospital by following PSAK 23 regarding revenues at different rates to carry out internal controls over revenue and expenditure procedures cash adequately. The main principle of internal control that needs to be considered is the separation of tasks between recording, storage, cash receipts should be deposited to the bank, all-cash disbursements should use checks except for small amounts of expenses. Cash is all cash in hand and funds deposited in banks in various forms such as deposits and checking accounts. Data analysis methods used in this research is descriptive methods with qualitative analysis techniques that are outlining, describing and comparing data. The findings show that the service number of JKN patients at Mountain Marry Hospital has reached 90.05% of JKN patients, so cash receipts at Mountain Marry Hospital have reached the government program to serve Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) patients but based on research results the Mountain Marry Hospital has not recorded revenue recognition INACBG tariffs with JKN rates, by following the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 23 because of differences in rates and are not sufficient to implement internal controls over cash receipts and disbursements procedures, especially for JKN patients.

We study the organizational impact of internal control systems, by examining 1,593 firms with 15,606 executives over 2002-2010. We find that internal control systems explain a significant amount of executive and, in particular, CFO compensation, after controlling for other governance, executive personal characteristics, firm, and macroeconomic determinants of pay. Moreover, the negative relationship between pay and internal control systems suggests that executives operating in firms with ineffective internal control systems earn greater compensation. The results of the longitudinal analysis suggest that firms with ineffective internal control systems have greater agency problems and, consequently, greater levels of executive compensation. The CEO pay shows a nonsignificant relationship with internal control systems.

The Impact

Internal control helps organizations achieve their objectives and maintain and improve their performance, and the performance of their employees. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread Way Commission issued an Internal Control — Integrated Framework, to help organizations in designing, implementing, and conducting internal control and assessing their internal control systems’ effectiveness, this Integrated Framework, included the five factors of control system, which are Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Control Activities, Information and Communication, and Monitoring Activities. The research examines the relationship between internal control system of an organization and employee engagement, and the effect that such has on the performance of the employee in the organization, and job satisfaction. This research primarily aims at finding out the impact of internal control system on employee performance in Jordanian companies, especially those in the Jordanian banking sector. Internal control systems will influence employees’ performance in two ways, through having an effective internal control system, or through not having an effective internal control system. The research therefore tends to evaluate the extent of adherence to internal control System in Jordanian banks, its impact on the performance of employees, and finally the recommendations of the researcher.
