Internal control is a process. It is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
Internal control is effected by people. It’s not merely policy manuals and forms, but people at every level of an organization.
Internal control can be expected to provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, to an entity’s management and board.
Internal control is geared to the achievement of objectives in one or more separate but overlapping categories.

Information & Communication Relevant information must be identified , captured
and communicated in a form & timeframe that enables people to carry out their responsibilities.
