Explanation of Solution

Management in order to maintain effective internal control makes sure that following objectives are achieved:

  • Transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization.
  • All the transaction are recorded in correct accounts with appropriate amounts and in the accounting period in which it is executed
  • Preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with recognized accounting principles and policies and within relevant statutory requirements.
  • Assets are safeguarded from unauthorized access
  • The asset recorded should be compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals so as to investigate if any difference arises.

There are mainly five components of internal control to be checked/observed:

  • Control Environment
  • Risk Assessment Process
  • Information System
  • Control Activities
  • Monitoring of Controls

The auditor’s main concern with the internal control is to find out material weaknesses in the internal control i.e., whether any material weakness exists in the design, implementation or maintenance of internal control and auditor shall communicate such weakness in internal control identified during audit to management on timely basis and communicate with those charged with governance. The auditor’s concern in the internal control is a major factor in determining overall audit strategy.
