Describe the three broad objectives management has when designing effective internal control. (Select
the three correct choices.)
A. Reasonable assurance.
B. Inherent limitations.
C. Efficiency and effectiveness of operations.
D. Reliability of financial reporting.
E. Compliance with laws and regulations.
F. Design of internal control.
G. Operating effectiveness of controls. ✔✔✔ - C. Efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Controls
within a company encourage efficient and effective use of its resources to optimize the company's goals.
An important objective of these controls is accurate financial and nonfinancial information about the
company's operations for decision making.
D. Reliability of financial reporting. Management is responsible for preparing statements for investors,
creditors, and other users. Management has both a legal and professional responsibility to be sure that
the information is fairly presented in accordance with reporting requirements of accounting frameworks
such as GAAP and IFRS. The objective of effective internal control over financial reporting is to fulfill
these financial reporting responsibilities.
E. Compliance with laws and regulations. Section 404 requires management of all public companies to
issue a report about the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. In addition to
the legal provisions of Section 404, public, nonpublic, and not-for-profit organizations are required to
follow many laws and regulations. Some relate to accounting only indirectly, such as environmental
protection and civil rights laws. Others are closely related to accounting, such as income tax regulations
and anti-fraud regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and certain provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) internal control
components include the following:
, A. (1) Control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and
communication, (5) monitoring
B. (1) Control environment, (2) integrity and ethical values, (3) risk assessment, (4) information and
communication, (5) monitoring
C. (1) Control activities, (2) information and communication, (3) separation of duties, (4) control
environment, (5) risk assessment
D. (1) Risk assessment, (2) control activities, (3) information and communication, (4) commitment to
competence, (5) control environment ✔✔✔ - A. (1) Control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3)
control activities, (4) information and communication, (5) monitoring
Which best describes the relationship among the five components of internal control in the COSO
internal control framework.
A. Of the five components, the control environment is the broadest and deals primarily with the way
management implements its attitude about internal controls.
B. Of the five components, monitoring activities is the most important component.
C. The five components of internal control all work together to determine if key controls are absent in
the design of internal control over financial reporting.
D. Of the five components, risk assessment is the most important component. ✔✔✔ - A. Of the five
components, the control environment is the broadest and deals primarily with the way management
implements its attitude about internal controls. The other four components are closely related to the
control environment. Risk assessment is management's identification and analysis of risks relevant to the
preparation of financial statements. Management implements control activities and creates the
accounting information and communication system in response to risks identified as part of its risk
assessment. Finally, management monitors the quality of internal control performance by determining if
controls are operating as intended and that they are modified if needed.
Management designs systems of internal control to accomplish three categories of objectives: (assess
acceptable risk, financial reporting, or set materiality), (assess audit risk, assess fraud risks, or
operations),
and (assess business risk, assess control risk, or compliance with laws and regulations).
The auditor's focus in both the audit of financial statements and the audit of internal controls is on those
controls related to (assessing acceptable risk
the reliability of financial reporting, or setting materiality) plus those controls related to (assessing audit
risk, assessing fraud risks, or operations) and to (assess business risk, assessing control risk, or
compliance with laws and regulations) objectives that could (adversely, materially, slightly) affect
