Effective Internal Control Practices in Banks

In the wake of numerous global banking scandals and regulatory failures, governments and banking regulators around the world have introduced stringent internal control laws within their financial institutions to safeguard against fraud, financial misreporting, and systemic failures. Effective Internal Control Practices in Banks: A Practitioner's Aid offers a comprehensive exploration of best practices in designing and implementing robust internal control environments in banks and public companies. Author Sophia Beckett Velez delves into the essential components of internal controls-control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring-offering strategies to mitigate risks and prevent breaches. This valuable work offers an original contribution to the study of internal controls in banking, providing useful insights for undergraduates, master's, and Ph.D. students, as well as academics, researchers, and banking professionals.
