Internal Control System

The article is of interest to internal control specialists who carry out their activities, both within the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as in other bodies of state power, institutions and organizations of any form of ownership. Also, the results of the study will be useful to the audit team as a service that is directly involved in the process of assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of the internal control system. In the article, through review of normative legal documents, an analysis of the formation and functioning of the internal control system, both in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as in the state as a whole, was conducted. The place and role of internal control in the general system of state internal financial control, in addition to the internal audit and the harmonization unit within the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, have been established. The role of the main international standards of state internal control in the development of state internal financial control in Ukraine is determined. It is formulated that the system of internal control in the process of its functioning, like any other system, is exposed both by external and internal factors. The list of existing factors influencing the functioning of the internal control system through analysis in three directions is determined: analysis of the guidelines and the main international standards governing the functioning of the internal control system, the analysis of scientific articles, scientific works in the relevant field, interviewing with specialists of internal control of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The above made it possible to distinguish external and internal factors in the context of the problems of this article. Internal and external factors have been investigated in the context of managed and unmanaged factors. The results of this research are the starting point for solving the scientific task of substantiating the scientific and methodical apparatus for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of the internal control system in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Impact

Boards of directors have the ultimate responsibility for governance – including internal control – in their organisations. Management is tasked with the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control systems. Internal auditors play a key role in independently evaluating these controls, acting as agents on behalf of the board of directors in order to mitigate the possibility of management not acting in the best interest of the organization, leaving gaps in the internal control system, and, in some instances, doing so in order to enable unlawful personal gain. The Committee of Sponsoring Organisations’ Integrated Framework for Internal Control (hereafter referred to as the COSO framework) is used as a recognised framework, which, if implemented, could result in an effective internal control system and served as the basis for the design of the research instrument of the research. The questionnaire was distributed to internal audit practitioners. Responses were obtained from 31 participants from the Eastern Cape and Western Cape regions in South Africa. The majority of the participants provide internal audit services to the local government sphere of the South African government. This article identifies which characteristics should exist in an organization’s control system that, in the opinion of internal auditors, improve the effectiveness of the internal control system. This study concludes that internal auditors are of the opinion that control characteristics as outlined in the COSO framework for ‘risk assessment’, ‘information and communication’, ‘control activities’ and ‘monitoring’ components of internal control, do contribute to an effective internal control system.

The relevance of the problem is conditioned by the need for the organization of internal control in commercial organizations. Indeed, both the safety of their property and cash, achievement of financial goals and objectives by the company, and the avoidance of errors in accounting and tax accounting, which ultimately lead to a distortion of financial and tax reporting, depend on internal control. Errors and inaccuracies, deliberate violations can lead to sanctions from inspection bodies or are capable of misleading the shareholders (participants) and partners of the organization in the event of a distortion of the reporting. The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for commercial organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the improvement of internal control systems based on foreign practice. The leading methods of research of this problem are: questionnaire that allows you to obtain, based on a certain sample, actual results that allow you to evaluate the development of the internal control system of the enterprises under study; modeling that allows you to create an internal control model for large trading companies. This article presents the main approaches to the organization of internal control systems used in Kazakhstan companies operating in the sphere of industrial production enterprises. Features and problems of their application are also revealed, recommendations and optimal models for improving these systems are formulated, taking into account the modern needs of the developing business. The materials of the article are of practical value to trading companies, as the presented models and recommendations for improving the internal control system are aimed at improving financial control in the business of such entities, bringing these systems closer to international standards and increasing control effectiveness (more rapid identification of errors and violations, that happen in the accounting process and financial transactions).

The conducted research may be of interest to specialists of internal audit, internal control, and managers of all levels, who organize the functioning of internal control in subordinate structural units. The article practically substantiates the use of the matrix of key performance indicators (KPI) in assessing the effectiveness of the internal control system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The research conducted in the article is the result of the practical implementation of the developed comprehensive methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the internal control system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Internal control delivers guarantee and trust for investors, clients, suppliers, but also for the entity’s employees and other interested parties. As a result, an effective internal control system has a significant impact on the credibility of a modern entity and its activities, which is ensured by the entity’s management, through an appropriate process of evaluating the effectiveness of internal control. On the basis of those exposed, we sustain the opinion shared by many experts in the field, that the primary role in evaluating the internal control system is attributed to internal audit, because in line with current development trends, it supports the entity in maintaining effective controls by evaluating efficiency and effectiveness. As well as by promoting biased business actions. In this connection, the authors approach the study of the basic aspects of the internal control evaluation process in the light of the identification of the method, establishing and interpreting the indicators used in the evaluation, as well as determining the criteria and practical tools for evaluation. As a method of evaluation of internal control the systematic method of authors is proposed, which involves the evaluation of each component of it. This approach permits internal auditors to make an integrated consideration of the effectiveness of internal control in the entity of the internal control system in the good functioning of the entity, which contributes to the fulfillment of its strategic objectives. In addition, the research carried out highlights the performance of the assessment tool – the corresponding questionnaire, which was developed to evaluate the control environment of the entity and applied in the activity of public interest entities in the Republic of Moldova. This study offers the possibility to recognize the deficiencies within the control environment established at the entity and offers the possibility to the management of the entity to improve its functioning mechanism.
