Course Summary

In today’s complex and rapidly changing business environment, establishing robust internal control systems is a fundamental aspect of effective governance and risk management. Internal controls ensure the integrity of financial reporting, compliance with laws and regulations, safeguarding of assets, and efficient operations. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework has emerged as a globally recognized model for designing, implementing, and evaluating internal control systems.

This training course from GLOMACS provides an in-depth understanding of the COSO Internal Control—Integrated Framework and explores other key internal control frameworks adopted globally. Participants will examine practical techniques for designing, assessing, and strengthening internal controls within their organizations, aligning with strategic and operational goals.

Beyond COSO, this training course introduces complementary and alternative frameworks, such as COBIT, ISO 31000, and the Three Lines Model, to ensure a holistic and adaptable control environment. Through case studies and interactive sessions, participants will develop hands-on skills to assess internal control effectiveness and implement sustainable improvements.
