CPAR - 2018/October, Seg.3 - What Role Should Internal Controls Perform in Goverance?

Course Overview
Financial professionals must increasingly exercise their judgment and skill over a wide range of pressing issues. But without internal controls, it would be extremely difficult for most business enterprises - especially those with numerous locations and processes - to prepare timely and reliable financial reports. According to Ron Kral, practice leader for SEC compliance and internal auditing services at Kral Ussery LLC, an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can substantially reduce the risk of misstatements and inaccuracies in a company's financial statements.
