Detailed Coverage of Risk Advisory Functions
An operational control evaluates the performance of a particular function or department of the company to assess its efficiency and effectiveness. Internal controls and efficiencies may be evaluated during this type of audit. Some areas of operational controls include organizational structure, processes and procedures, the accuracy of data, management and security of assets, staffing, and productivity.
Compliance function evaluates the company’s adherence to applicable laws, standards, regulations, policies and procedures. Compliance is done because of statutory requirements. While the function is done for regulatory reasons, the objectives are still to ensure adequate control over an important internal process.
Financial control is an independent evaluation performed for ensuring the fairness, accuracy, and reliability of financial data. The central objective is to ensure that the financial activity of the department, unit or area is completely and accurately reflected in the financial reports.
