and standard-setting bodies have addressed how public sector organizations can establish policies and internal controls to minimize the risk of financial inaccuracy and fraud. The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently issued Standards for Internal
Control in the Federal Government: 2014 Revision, also known as the Green Book. GAO adopted the key concepts from the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Internal Control – Integrated Framework and adapted them for
a government environment. These standards provide the overall framework for designing, implementing and operating an effective internal control system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
