What Are Internal Controls Services?

Internal controls are the implemented procedures to protect the integrity of financial information, promote fiscal accountability, and prevent financial fraud. Effective internal controls support compliance with laws and regulations for the timeliness of financial reporting and to protect the company’s assets.

Internal Controls

Since the accounting scandals in the early 2000s, Internal Controls function has become the critical business function of every U.S company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was ratified to protect investors from sham accounting activities and to establish the dependability of corporate disclosures. The Sarbanes-Oxley (also known as SOX Compliance) has reflected on company ascendancy by appointing managers in charge of financial reporting and creating an audit trail. Subsequently, corporate managers were found guilty of not recording and managing internal controls correctly and faced severe criminal penalties.
