Setting the proper control environment is crucial to the effective implementation of all the other elements of internal control. Staff will take their cue from the attitude and example displayed by management.

RISKS are events that threaten the accomplishment of objectives and can be either internal or external.
They ultimately impact an organization’s ability to accomplish
its mission.Examples of risks include:Human errorFraudSystem breakdownsNatural disasters
![Page 13: Presented to President’s Cabinet. INTERNAL CONTROLS are the integration of the activities, plans, attitudes, policies and efforts of the people of an.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e535503460f94b49b90/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Identify each risk in terms of:
Likelihood
The probability that an unfavorable event would occur if there were no internal controls in place
Significance or Impact
The magnitude of the effect on the organization if the unfavorable event were to occur
Cause
The reason why the unfavorable event may occur

Risk assumption – impact and likelihood low (do not establish control activities)
Risk control – take action to lower the probability or eliminate the risk (establish control activities)
Risk avoidance – abandon plan; risks uncontrollable and unacceptable (do not carry out the function)

All Employees Have Responsibility for Internal Controls◦ Senior Management sets the “tone at the top” that
affects integrity, ethics and other factors of a positive control environment.
Management should consider risks to achieving established objectives and strategies and manage appropriately (accept, control or avoid).
Communication must occur up, down and across an organization.
An Internal Control Program is a good idea andIT’S THE LAW
