Their role is to ensure the complete execution of the organization&#8217;s strategy, the achievement of objectives, and the effectiveness of the internal control system.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public companies must have many committees on their boards of directors, such as Corporate Governance, Risk Management, and Audit committees. The structures and processes management creates to manage the business support the board&#8217;s oversight.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the board of directors assumes oversight responsibility, the general manager and senior management take direct responsibility for developing and implementing internal control.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Applies Relevant Expertise<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Board of Directors identifies, maintains, and periodically evaluates the skills and expertise required of its members to enable them to ask probing questions of senior management and take appropriate action.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Composition of the board of directors<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is determined by considering the organization&#8217;s mission, values, and various distinct objectives, as well as the skills and expertise required to optimally supervise, examine, and evaluate the senior management team. These competencies include:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internal Control Mindset (e.g., professional skepticism, perspectives on identifying and responding to risks, approaches, and evaluation of the internal control system),<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge of the market and the organization (e.g., information about products\/services, value chain, customer base, and competitors),<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial expertise, including financial reporting (e.g., accounting standards, financial reporting regulations)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expertise regarding laws and regulations (e.g., applicable laws, rules, and regulations),<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social and environmental expertise (e.g., social and environmental expectations),<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incentives and fees (e.g., market prevailing wages and expectations),<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relevant systems and technologies (e.g., understanding critical systems and technology challenges and opportunities).<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expertise and independence of the board of directors are regularly evaluated, taking into account the changing and evolving needs of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be costly and difficult for sole proprietorships, SMEs, and non-profit companies to attract competent and independent board members. Considering this, organizations implement different processes and controls that provide oversight.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Operates Independently<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Board of Directors has sufficient members who act independently of the management and are impartial in their evaluations and decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The board of directors is independent of the organization&#8217;s management and demonstrates the necessary skills and expertise to carry out its oversight responsibilities. Independence is manifested in board members&#8217; minds, actions, appearance, and factual impartiality. Typically, most company board members whose shares are traded on the stock exchange must be independent and have no current or recent personal or professional relationships with the organization.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Provides Oversight of the Internal Control System<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The board of directors oversees management&#8217;s design, implementation, and execution of internal control.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Control Environment-Establishing integrity and ethical values, oversight structures, authority and responsibilities, expectations regarding competence, and accountability to the board.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Risk assessment \u2013 \u200b\u200bMonitoring management&#8217;s assessment of all risks facing the organization in achieving its objectives, including material changes, fraud, and the potential impact of management&#8217;s breach of internal control.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Control Actions\u00a0\u2013 Providing oversight to senior management in the development and execution of control actions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Information and Communication-Analyzing and discussing information relevant to achieving the organization&#8217;s objectives.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Monitoring Actions-Evaluating and monitoring the nature and scope of monitoring actions and management&#8217;s assessment and remediation of deficiencies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Resources of Internal Control Article\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Internal Auditing Standards, International Institute of Internal Auditors<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Davut Pehlivanl\u0131, Current Internal Audit Practices, Beta 2010<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prof. Dr. Nejat Bozkurt, Accounting Audit, Alfa 1998<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prof.Dr.Nejat Bozkurt, T\u00dcRMOB Independent Audit Training Lecture Notes, 2012<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr.\u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00c7at\u0131kka\u015f, KGK, Marmara University.
