Internal Control Standards
Internal Control Standards are frameworks of policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in operational effectiveness, reliable financial reporting, and compliance with laws and regulations. The COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (originally released in 1992 and refreshed as ICIF-2013) is the most widely adopted standard for internal controls and underpins SOX 404 compliance, with supplemental 2023 guidance for internal control over sustainability reporting (ICSR) addressing modern risks including generative AI and robotic process automation.
