Entity Level Controls - Information and Communication Questionnaire

Information and communication is the component of internal control that ensures that pertinent information is identified, captured, and communicated in a form and timeframe that enables people to carry out their responsibilities. This excel-based template provides a number of COSO elements and the related control objectives for entity level controls. Within the questionnaire you can document items such as whether the control exists; whether it was designed properly; related test procedures; and management action plan for deficiencies. The Information Availability, Reliability of IT Systems, and Communications sections have been updated in this questionnaire.
