Internal controls are simply processes, policies and procedures, effected by people that ensure our internal processes, designed to modify risk, work the way we want them to so that we achieve what we want. An organisation will have hundreds if not thousands of internal controls in place. Examples of internal controls include separation of duties, authority delegations, policies, procedure manuals, work practices, passwords, account reconciliations, arithmetical accuracy checks, restricted physical access, stock counts, asset counts, budgets, plans etc [8].
