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.

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.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how information technology (IT) governance supports the process of enterprise risk management (ERM). In particular, the paper illustrates how the Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) framework helps a company reach its objectives by integrating and supporting the Enterprise Risk Management by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO ERM) framework. Design/methodology/approach – This paper explains how the integration between the two frameworks (COSO ERM and COBIT 5) can represent, for any organization, a good way to achieve the objectives of internal control and risk management and, more generally, corporate governance. Findings – The paper identifies some gaps in the COSO ERM and illustrates how the COBIT framework facilitates the implementation of an adequate system of internal control. Originality/value – The originality of the work presented here is in analyzing the COBIT 5 together with the COSO ERM framework. This paper highlights that is not enough to apply only an internal control framework for achieving the risk management and internal control system objectives. An IT governance framework, such as COBIT 5 is proposed as a tool that support risk management in order to develop an adequate system of internal control.

The article considers the features of the state institutions activities related to their organizational structure, areas of their activity and the composition of objects under control. It defines the main directions of internal control in the budgetary sphere and reveals the features of the budget process management. The author highlights the topical issues related to the necessity of strengthening the regulation of the state institutions activities and improving the internal control system. The purpose of the research is to analyze the procedure for organizing internal financial control in the state institutions and determine the main directions for its improvement. In the course of the research, the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, logical thinking, and the dialectic method of cognition were used. The peculiarities of the organization of internal control in state institutions are related to the fact that they face a dual task. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the rational use of budget funds and resources allocated for the maintenance of their apparatus. On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure control over the rational distribution and effective use of budget funds in subordinate organizations. The actuality of considering the issues of internal control regulation is determined by the necessity of creating a cross-cutting risk-oriented internal control system aimed at the effective use of public resources provided for organizations. The results of the research include the development of a methodological approach to improving the mechanisms of organizing internal financial control in federal executive bodies. It is concluded that strengthening the regulation and unification of internal control in the state institutions contributes to improving the quality of public resource management.
