5 COSO NEW RESOURCES Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Edition) Consists of three volumes: Executive Summary Framework and Appendices Illustrative Tools for Assessing Effectiveness of a System of Internal Control Sets out: Definition of internal control Categories of objectives Components and principles of internal control Requirements for effectiveness Source: COSO Page 9 COSO NEW RESOURCES Internal Control over External Financial Reporting: A Compendium Illustrates approaches and examples of how principles are applied in preparing financial statements Considers changes in business and operating environments during past two decades Provides examples from a variety of entities public, private, not-for- profit, and government Aligns with the updated Framework Source: COSO Page 10 5

6 WHY AN UPDATE COSO INTEGRATED INTERNAL CONTROL FRAMEWORK? Source: COSO Page FRAMEWORK COMPARED TO 1992 FRAMEWORK What is not changing... Core definition of internal control Three categories of objectives and five components of internal control Each of the five components of internal control are required for effective internal control Important role of judgment in designing, implementing and conducting internal control, and in assessing its effectiveness What is changing... Changes in business and operating environments considered Operations and reporting objectives expanded Fundamental concepts underlying five components articulated as principles Additional approaches and examples relevant to operations, compliance, and non-financial reporting objectives added Source: COSO Page 12 6

7 CONSIDERATION OF BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS Environments changes... have driven Framework updates Expectations for governance oversight Globalization of markets and operations Changes and greater complexity in business Demands and complexities in laws, rules, regulations, and standards Expectations for competencies and accountabilities Use of, and reliance on, evolving technologies Expectations relating to preventing and detecting fraud COSO Cube (2013 Edition) Source: COSO Page 13 UPDATE ARTICULATES PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROL Source: COSO Page 14 7

8 Navigating the COSO Update Framework Page 15 PRINCIPLES AND POINTS OF FOCUS Points of Focus Represent important characteristics i of a Principle. i Intended to assist management in obtaining persuasive evidence to support its determination that the components and relevant principles are present and functioning. Management may consider other points of focus Bottom line Points of Focus matter a great deal. Page 16 8

9 INTERACTION OF SARBANES-OXLEY AND THE 2013 COSO FRAMEWORK Mapping of existing controls to principles and points of focus: Effort Time Resources Consideration of third party involvement Page 17 EVALUATING DEFICIENCIES IN INTERNAL CONTROL For a system of internal control to be effective, the updated Framework requires that: 1) Each of the five components and relevant principles is present and functioning; and 2) The five components operate together in an integrated manner Internal Control Deficiency A shortcoming in a component or components and relevant principle(s)that reduces the likelihood that the entity can achieve its objective. Major Deficiency an internal control deficiency or combination of deficiencies that severely reduces the likelihood that the entity can achieve its objectives. Essentially, a major deficiency indicates that a component and/or principle are not present or not functioning. Significant Deficiency and Material Weakness? The updated Framework recognizes criteria established by other standard setting bodies (e.g., SEC, PCAOB). COSO explicitly indicates the Updated Framework alone does NOT serve as a regulatory standard. Page 18 9

10 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Determine the dependency between the use of technology in business process and technology general controls Establish relevant technology infrastructure control activities Establish relevant security management process control activities Establish relevant technology acquisition, development, and maintenance process control activities Page 19 SCALABILITY Smaller company considerations: Fewer lines of business and fewer products within lines Concentration of marketing focus by channel or geography Leadership by management with significant ownership interest or rights Fewer levels of management with wider spans of control Less complex transaction processing systems Fewer personnel, many having a wider range of duties Limited ability to maintain deep resources in line as well as support staff positions such as legal, human resources, accounting, and internal auditing Approaches and examples in Compendium (Appendix C) Page 20 10

12 TRANSITION TO THE UPDATED FRAMEWORK 2013 Framework will supersede 1992 Framework at the end of the transition period (i.e., December 15, 2014) Page 23 READINESS IN 2013 Users are encouraged to transition applications and related documentation to the 2013 Framework as soon as feasible During the transition period, external reporting should disclose whether the original i or updated d version of the Framework was used Impact of adopting the 2013 Framework will vary by organization Does your system of internal control need to address changes in business? Does your system of internal control need to be updated to address all principles? Does your organization apply and interpret the original framework in the same manner as COSO? Is your organization considering new opportunities to apply internal control to cover additional objectives? Source: COSO Page 24 12

13 NEXT STEPS Read COSO s updated Framework and illustrative documents Educate the Audit Committee, C-suite, operating unit and functional management Establish a process for identifying, assessing, and implementing necessary changes in controls and related documentation Develop and implement a transition plan timely to meet key objectives e.g., apply updated Framework by December 31, 2014 for external reporting Consider preparing a diagnostic of points of focus that pertain to your business to support underlying principles.
