Looking to convince stakeholders of your good intentions and the high quality you offer? Then you need a strong internal controls culture. It’ll also help you build and maintain trust. Unfortunately, employees too often perceive internal controls as an impediment to getting stuff done and therefore pay them inadequate attention, and, in the worst case, ignore them.
Internal controls help you safeguard assets, prevent fraud, verify financial records, monitor organisational performance and ensure an efficient and uninterrupted flow of business. Moreover, internal controls can help you gain insight into the proper functioning of your processes.
Making the importance of internal controls clear to control owners encourages them to approach internal controls initiatives with greater enthusiasm and commitment.
Kingdom of Control is available in both online and offline game mode.
