Keywords:
Accounting, Finance, Internal Control, TechnologyAbstract
This study investigates the effect of internal control (IC) weaknesses on firm performance. Our findings confirm that IC weaknesses, in general, have a negative impact on firm performance and that this impact varies with each of the major IC components. Our findings confirm that IC material weaknesses in a firm’s control environment, information technology, accounting documentation, accounting policies and procedures, or control design have a significantly negative impact on firm performance. We also confirm that delaying remedial actions addressing IC weaknesses will continue to hamper firm financial performance.
