			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>COSO (<a href="http://www.coso.org/">Committee of Sponsoring Organizations</a>) of Treadway  Commission, the <a href="http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/cadbury/report/committee.html">United Kingdom’s Cadbury Commission</a>, and CoCo the <a href="http://www.cica.ca/">Canadian Criteria of Control Committee</a> have defined risk control models in a new way. They have established a new definition based on the understanding that a risk control model may support best practices in the system. However, it may not support the success of the organization.</p>
<p>The new definition of risk control models according to these organizations embodies four basic principles of best practices.</p>
<h2>1<sup>st</sup> Principle</h2>
<p>Risk Control is not limited to a single section or level of an organization. It applies to every aspect and activity in the organization.</p>
<h2>2<sup>nd</sup> Principle</h2>
<p>The best practice of learning and reflecting on the observations made and measuring the control on activities. Through this best practice the environment, objectives, actions and learning processes are maintained.</p>
<h2>3<sup>rd</sup> Principle</h2>
<p>Recognizing critical importance of values and behavior is an essential best practice. It is important to acknowledge that people have the capacity to ensure self-control.</p>
<h2>4<sup>th</sup> Principle</h2>
<p>Paying specific attention to the concept of responsibility for compliance with control is an essential best practice. This is a very confusing aspect of risk control and very difficult to implement successfully.</p>
<p>With the implementation of the new definition of risk control, other issues have come to light. Such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fear of bureaucracy: employees fear that internal controls will expand to other operations in the organization.</li>
<li>Inability to ensure accountability: Managers cannot be held responsible or accountable if they do not have the ability to implement control.</li>
<li>Establishing and implementing local controls: Knowing what controls are needed and when they have to be implemented is a necessary for best practice. The new principles ensure that controls are universal and can be implemented anywhere.</li>
<li>Maintaining local controls, trust and self-assessment: Self assessment is an essential best practice and will increase the need for improvement. Through self assessment employees can improve themselves by increasing compliance with risk controls.</li>
</ul>
<p>These new risk control models are bringing new best practices into consideration. They adopt a broader way of interpreting controls. Overall, these new principles have introduced objective setting, concept of monitoring and options improvement for best practices.</p>
<p>This makes it a crucial requirement for organizations to ensure compliance with the <a href="http://www.coso.org/documents/COSO_Guidance_On_Monitoring_Intro_online1.pdf">new control models</a> for best practices.</p>
