The COSO Internal Control Framework has been voluntarily adopted by internal audit organizations around the globe for nearly two decades to help them create, develop, mature, and continuously improve their systems of internal controls. According to COSO, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, updated the framework in 2013 to “focus on five integrated components of internal controls: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities”. This self-study course, which is based on the COSO Cube, will help internal auditors gain a foundational understanding of the components and principles of internal controls.
