BACKGROUND: Sir Adrian Cadbury once said that all the failures of quoted companies have been failures of internal control. Even those companies that have failed because their strategy was wrong, arguably developed and adopted their strategy in a poorly controlled way. Despite the understandable focus on corporate governance and risk management, we need to get back to basics and apply effective internal control measures throughout our businesses. Boards and senior management then need assurance that internal control is effective.
