Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
An entities’ internal control over
financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the
reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of
consolidated financial statements for
external purposes in accordance
with
accounting principles generally
accepted in the
United States of
America. An
entities’ internal control
over financial reporting
includes those
policies and
procedures that
(1) pertain
to the
maintenance of
records that,
in reasonable
detail, accurately
and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the entities; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are
as
necessary
to
permit
preparation
of
in
with
principles
generally accepted
in the
United States
of America,
and that
receipts and
expenditures of
the entities
are being
made only
in
with
authorizations
of
and
directors
of
the
entities;
and
(3)
provide
prevention or
timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition
of the
entities’ assets
that could
have a
effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of
its inherent
limitations, internal
may not
prevent or
detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
