Company Internal Control and its Legal Impacts:
We
knows the importance of internal control for a business company. The Company
can improve its production capacity, quality and performance to make more
improvement in its internal control system. The Company Communication flow and
its dealing with its clients, customers and vendors are more essential to give
us a glance picture of its performance and show us the real time picture of its
internal control over its departments and different operation units.
We knows that making a company and running its operations in
the country and at international level is not an easy job. In past we saw many
corruption in companies operations. The relationship of the corporations
leadership and politicians is not a new topic to discuss here. Both are trying
to save their interests. But sometimes or in some cases here about
corruption.
Every country in the world wants a corruption free
environment in every kind of business both in public and private sectors.
Governments of different countries develop rules and regulations to eliminate
and reduce the level of corruption or bribery issues form their countries.
I present the working
of the United States of America in this regards, United States wants to
eliminate and reduce the effects of corruption, bribery and
kickbacks from it legislative and corporations. The FCPA-Foreign Corruption Practices Act is an example of it. Through which they
want to keep safe the congruous personal or legislative form corporations.
Corporate can use their funds for them to make influence over them and use
their influence over their legislative rights and responsibilities. This act prohibits bribery of any foreign
official or office, foreign political party or official thereof or candidate of
political office in a foreign country. According to this law on political
payments to foreign officials are prohibitions. Other payments to foreign
business owners, corporate officers, executives, management and leadership not
addressed by the FCPA act.
Under the FCPA act they requires all public companies to
make their books of accounts, records of transactions and provide the
authenticated and reasonable details which are perfect, clear, accurate and
committed about their operations and all the relevant activities regards in
their businesses. That’s the reason they need a proper system of internal
accounting control which helpful to them to provide the reasonable
information’s regarding their financial transactions, financial reports and
their assets and all achievements.
In this respect the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 applies
here on the issuers with the federal securities laws. As per these laws they
requires audit committee with at least one financial expert, which is an
independent member of the board of directors. The independent director is not attached
to receives no compensations form the issuer.
The Section-404
of the act the management requires to establish and document internal
control procedures and include it with the company financial reports.
The Section 302 of the act requires periodic statutory
financial reports to include the
certifications that:
1.
The Signatory office must
review the report.
2.
The report does not contain
any mismanagement , misleading or omission in financial information.
3.
All the financial reports
and statements must present with complete information about its operations and
transactions.
4.
The Signing Officer must
present the reports after complete review and with full information’s, the
90 days financial recorded data must be discussed and present with it.
5.
Information about all the
deficiencies in the operations and financial reporting must be include within
or with it.
6.
The factors and effects
which have negative impacts over their operations must be the part of it and
must present to the authorities.
Organizations must need to follow, full and provide the
about requirement to work as corporations with in the united states. That’s are
the some of the legal impact of the internal control over corporations.
