    Who is responsible for Internal control regarding financial reporting?

    CEO? CFO? Board of directors?

    Thanks

    OR would it be the Internal Auditors?

    AUD - 79 (expired) retaking July 28,2016
    FAR - 76 expiring July 31, 2016
    BEC - 85
    REG - 74,74,74,74,59,70,

    internal auditor reports administratively to CEO and functionally to the Audit committee. Audit committee is not the board of directors, but comprises of directors. In that case, I would go with CEO. Cannot be the CFO as that would be conflict of interest to report to the CFO.

    I am pretty sure it is the CEO and CFO. A company's management is responsible for internal control. The Board of Directors is not included in management.

    FAR - 93 - 7/1/14
    AUD - 94 - 7/25/14
    REG - 92 - 8/30/14
    BEC - 89 - 10/6/14

    I am thinking about the BOD for some reason. Books says board must oversee the development and performance of internal control.

    Management is responsible for internal control, not the BOD

    Read the audit report- it says “Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements……this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control”

    Then CEO sounds like a pretty decent answer:)

    I don't remember any Becker questions specifically asking which employee is responsible for IC? It's just management who's in charge of it and then they specifically reference the CEO/CFO as having to communicate any SDs to the auditors.
