Internal control practices have been established to influence financial performance of County Government, though County Government have been facing a myriad of challenges in terms of financial performance. The drive of this study was to establish internal control practices that influence county governments to streamline their operations and perform efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the general interest. Therefore the general objective of the study was to determine the internal control practices and financial performance of county governments in the coastal region of Kenya. Specifically, the study endeavored to establish the effect of audit function, risk management, financial reporting and cash management on financial performance of county governments in the coastal region. The study was based on the following theories: The Agency theory, Attribution theory and procedural justice theory. The researcher  adopted a descriptive research design. The target population of the study were 30 employees drawn from 5 departments in the Ministry of Finance, Budget and planning in the county governments of the Coastal region. The study targeted 4 Counties in the coastal region of Kenya, that is Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale and Taita and the respondents were 40 finance managers obtained from Finance Planning Ministry of the listed County governments. A census of 40 respondents was carried out. Primary data was collected using questionnaires. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The study found a positive and significant effect between risk assessment, monitoring, control environment, information and communication on financial performance. The study concluded that the risk identification and mitigation play the most significant role in influencing financial performance of the County governments. Hence, risk identification can essentially be said to be the key starting point of any risk management program as the Counties cannot manage what is unknown. Monitoring the financial performance of the County creates more certainty and confidence in making both short and long term decisions. This in turn leads to a healthier business and faster growth rate. The control environment provides the basis for carrying out internal control across the organization. Effective adoption of information and communication systems is of vital importance in making sure that the County governments improves their financial performance. The study recommends that the management of the Counties should put in place cost-effective measures for timely risk identification and effective risk mitigation so as to ensure that their financial performance is not impacted negatively. The County governments should have appropriate tools for monitoring their financial performance so as to effectively monitor their goals, the progress they make and all the key performance metrics throughout their financial operations. The County governments should demonstrate a commitment to integrity and ethical values. Specific standards of conduct should be understood throughout all levels of the County, and processes should be in place to evaluate performance and quickly address deviations from expectations. The County governments should communicate successfully with their investors to form stronger relationships with them. Information and communication should be between the County and financial stakeholders about the County’s economic events and their effects within and outside the financial statements.

Globally, internal controls serve many important purposes for public private and public help organizations. There is however an increasing call for better and improved internal control systems especially in firms that are listed on public market. However, internal control systems, irrespective of how well conceived and implemented cannot provide absolute assurance of management and boards regarding the achievement of objectives. This research focused on the three components of internal control systems namely control environment, risk assessment, and control activities. This study therefore formulated four objectives and investigated how risk assessment, control activities, and control environment affects the performance of Ghanaian banks. In this quantitative study, representatives from twelve listed banks were engaged. Descriptive and regression analysis was performed on the field data. The study result shows while Risk assessment has a strong significant effect on financial performance, Control environment and Control activities, have a weak significant effect on financial performance. The practical implication of the study is that, when assessing the performance of banks, risk areas must be examined critically to reduce or eliminate their impacts on bank performance.

The Relationship

Internal control has become an important part of corporate governance. This paper selects all Chinese A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2019 as samples to study the relationship between internal control and corporate performance, and to investigate the effect of managers’ ability on the process of internal control affecting corporate performance. It is found that there is a significant negative correlation between internal control defects and enterprise performance, which indicates that there are significant internal control defects, which will restrain the enterprise’s financial performance; the effectiveness of internal control operation is significantly positively correlated with enterprise performance, which shows that the operation of effective internal control helps to promote the financial performance of enterprises. When we introduce management competence as a moderating variable, we find that competent managers can improve financial performance in an effective internal control environment.

ABSTRACT This instructional case encourages analytical thinking about internal controls in both the operations and audit of a small, not-for-profit organization. Students examine a control environment characterized by unauthorized expenditures, lack of documentation, and missing documents. Using the COSO (2013) framework, students demonstrate understanding of business processes as they identify internal control risks and deficiencies, and recommend control improvements. Auditing students additionally apply management assertions about financial transactions and assess auditor independence. Students gain practical experience in developing flowcharts of accounting processes and writing a management letter for a familiar organization: a preschool.
