protector against the various risks that may exist and can be generated within
companies, allowing the company to achieve its established objectives and
goals, also internal control is important since It allows us to reduce acts of
corruption and fraud that may occur, supporting the integrity and ethical
behavior of servers.

Likewise, there are two types of control procedures of great importance

  Preventive Control: they are established to avoid errors that can occur
during the development of transactions.
  Detection control: Its purpose is to discover errors or deviations that
during the development of transactions would not have been detected by
the preventive control procedure.

3.1 What is the Flowchart and the Questionnaire?

3.1.1 Flowchart

A flowchart or flowchart consists of a figure or graph that represents a series of


processes or a group of activities by means of symbols.
Therefore, the main utility of a flowchart is that it shows at a glance a process
that can be complex. In this way, each person involved in it knows what her job
is. This increases efficiency and reduces possible incidents. (Arias, 2020)
3.1.2 Advantages of the flowchart

 In a single image we will have enough information to know what we have


to do and make decisions about it.
 It allows us to know those points where there may be a problem and we
can make the corresponding improvements a posteriori and implement
them.
 Facilitates personal relationships between the people involved. For this
reason, in teamwork (including virtual ones) it is extremely useful. Each
party is clear about their part in the process.
 This way of representing processes makes it easy to understand the
different protocols implemented in the company.

3.2 Questionnaire

“An internal control questionnaire is a data collection tool that a company


provides to its employees for the purpose of conducting an audit and
determining which areas need to be focused on for improvement”. (Anonymous,
2020)

After completing the data collection through an internal control questionnaire,


the audit can use the information provided in the validation of the environment
and the development of the areas.

Each response must be validated, so respondents should be asked to provide the most
accurate information possible that truly reflects current business processes and
controls.

3.2.1 Questionnaire objectives

 Develop and maintain authority functionality to maintain organizational


controls.
 Clearly establish the functions and responsibilities of the different areas
of the organization and clarify possible sections that are not fully defined.
 Define an accounting system that offers complete and specific
information on the organization's operating results.
 Offer information that allows the organization's managers to clearly
design a process manual.
 Create a budget system for the future operations of the organization that
ensures compliance.

IV. Conclusion

 It can be concluded that internal control is of great importance in both


public and private companies, because it will help us achieve all the
objectives and goals that are established, as well as a good analysis and
management in companies.
 Finally, administration is extremely important in companies, since it helps
us through tools, processes and better decision-making to improve the
development and economy of the organization.
 We can conclude that the flow chart and the questionnaire are very
important for internal control since it allows us to have an order, which
allows us to understand how to measure the quality of processes in each
required area.
 Internal Control is a development that is carried out at all levels of an
organization, in order to fairly protect the fulfillment of the objectives. This
process is essential to protect assets, verify the accuracy and veracity of
administrative and financial information, stimulate the effectiveness of the
organization, determine the efficiency of operations and the economy in
the application of resources for objectives.
