“Sound internal control practices that are continuously adapted to changing circumstances are critical for organizations,” said Roger Tabor, chair of the PAIB Committee. “Organizations are most successful when they can take advantage of opportunities and defend against threats, both of which are enabled by an appropriate system of internal control.” 35 fsr=
The new guidance will assist professional accountants in business as they work with their organizations to continuously evaluate and improve internal control, and ensure that it is an integrated part of the organization’s systems of governance and risk management. Better integrated internal controls can save the organization time and money while helping to create and preserve value. h<IPV'1
