To what extent does risk management need to be better aligned with internal control?

That’s the essential question within a new survey you can complete in 15 to 20 minutes.

The survey represents a joint effort among The Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO).

The objectives of the research are threefold:

• Investigate how risk management and internal control frameworks, standards, and/or guidance are being used around the globe;

• Identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing risk management and internal control systems; and

• Determine the need for international alignment among the various national frameworks, standards, and guidance that already exist in this area. ###
