Abstract

This article represents a theoretical background to a practical model of risk management and internal control systems integration within corporate governance structure. The provided model reduces the risk of duplicate management functions, minimizes bureaucracy and costs intensity of processes, motivates management to obtain results and covers all levels of company management. The ability to evaluate the management processes efficiency in relation to the main objectives of the company as well as the opportunity to control the management process at each level are distinctive features of the model.

 

Design/methodology/approach

            The model is based on the integration of the functions of the two most common models in practice: 3 LoD and functional model of risk management. Evaluating the effectiveness of management functions is achieved by the introduction of the key management performance indicators, and the accuracy of the base for the calculation of KPIs - by Behnisch M-score.

 

Findings

The introduction of risk management and internal control procedures are in themselves a sign of the maturity of the management company and an indicator of the potential investment appeal.

Compliance with all of the recommendations in relation to internal control and risk management is not appropriate and is destroying the value of small and medium-sized businesses.

Most of the processes of risk management and internal control systems are duplicative, but targeted at different results depending on the management objective.

Application of KPIs is expedient at evaluating the effectiveness of the organizational model of risk management and internal control, and choice of KPIs and their distribution depends on the risk owners in the model.

Application of Behnisch M-score increases business transparency and stakeholder confidence in the results.

Case study, presented in the article, fully reflects the purpose of research and demonstrates that management results are quite different among similar in size, type and market conditions companies: the poor organization of internal control and attempts to manipulate reporting, provokes negative trend - the company's value starts falling, despite the fact that the purpose of manipulation was to increase the investment attractiveness.

 

Originality/value

            None of the presented in prior research studies was not aimed on integration of management and control functions within a single model, and, moreover, was not aimed to use the accounting approach for evaluating the effectiveness of management functions. Nevertheless, the possibility of manipulating the statements are quite broad and do not always include illegal methods. In this regard it is necessary to consider the relevance of the data in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the company's management model.
