COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) P2: Principle 2: Exercises oversight responsibility

What does P2 require?

The board shows independence from management and oversees how internal control is developed and how it performs. Points of focus (4). Oversight responsibilities: the board identifies and takes on its oversight duties in light of the requirements and expectations set for it. Expertise: the board defines the skills its members need to probe senior management and act on what they learn, keeps those skills in place and reviews them periodically. Independence: enough directors are independent of management and objective when evaluating and deciding. Oversight of the system: the board oversees how management designs, implements and conducts internal control across all five components: the control environment; risk assessment, including significant change, fraud and management override; control activities; information on achieving objectives; and monitoring, including how deficiencies are evaluated and fixed. Approaches the framework suggests for external financial reporting: setting the board's roles, responsibilities and delegated authority; setting policies and practices for board meetings with management; identifying and reviewing candidates for the board; reviewing management's assertions and judgments; seeking an outside view; considering whistle-blower reports about errors and irregularities in the financial statements.
