Information and Communication

Principle 14 - Communicate Internally

Attribute 14.03 - Management communicates relevant and quality information down and across reporting lines to enable personnel to understand and perform key roles in achieving objectives, addressing risks, and supporting the internal control system. In these communications, management assigns the internal control responsibilities for key roles. Communications support the functioning of all five components of internal control and the achievement of the entity's objectives. Communications may include legal and regulatory requirements, ethical values, the entity's objectives, identified risks, policies and procedures that support personnel in performing their internal control responsibilities, and the results of monitoring activities that may include corrective actions to remediate internal control deficiencies.
