EXECUTIVE'S GUIDE TO COSO INTERNAL CONTROLS

Understanding and Implementing the New Framework

First released in 1992, the COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations) internal control framework has become a standard internal control assessment measure for AICPA public accountants, Sarbanes-Oxley internal control rules, internal auditors, and others worldwide. Now after more than twenty years, COSO has released the first revision to this internal control framework, which includes financial and nonfinancial reporting, as well as improved guidance for IT controls, risk management and fraud consideration objectives, guidance that were not included in the original model. Executive's Guide to COSO Internal Controls provides all the guidance you need to remain fully compliant with the 2013 version of the COSO framework.

This book provides an executive-level description of the new COSO 2013 internal control framework, exploring the components of the new framework, as well as the elements particularly important to enterprise business operations. Looking at COSO's three-dimensional framework and the importance of the internal control framework's elements, topics covered include COBIT and both ISO internal control and risk management standards, with an emphasis on building and implementing effective enterprise internal controls.
