Leading Practices to Strengthen Internal Controls

Internal controls are mechanisms that organizations put in place to help safeguard assets, ensure reliable and accurate financial reporting, prevent against fraud, and assure compliance with internal corporate policies and external laws and regulations.

In the Summer of 2021, APQC partnered with Christine Doxey (author, speaker, management consultant, and President of Doxey, Inc.) as the subject matter expert in a research survey to understand best practices and new developments for internal controls—including how new, emerging technologies are enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of internal controls processes and monitoring.

This white paper details the findings and provides leading practices to help organizations strengthen their internal controls.
