COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) P12: Principle 12: Deploys through policies and procedures

Control activities are put into effect through policies, which say what is expected, and through procedures, which carry the policies out. Points of focus (6). Policies and procedures supporting management's directives: controls are embedded in business processes and everyday work, with policies stating expectations and procedures stating the actions. Responsibility and accountability: responsibility for controls rests with the management of the unit or function in which the risk sits. Timeliness: controls are performed when the policies and procedures require. Corrective action: issues that performing controls brings to light are investigated and dealt with. Competent personnel: controls are carried out with diligence by competent people who have enough authority. Reassessment: management reviews controls from time to time to keep them relevant and updates them. Approaches the framework suggests for external financial reporting: writing and documenting policies and procedures; rolling out control activities through the leaders of business units or functions; assessing control activities both regularly and as needed.
