The ICFR library is derived from the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404: Management Assessment of Internal Controls. The globally recognized COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework provides additional guidance. Functional equivalent Frameworks have been developed and implemented globally.
The ICFR Library provides a set of editable smart templates that represent the core of what is generally required by regulatory and corporate mandates, relevant management (including process owners), boards of directors and their audit committees, as well as internal and external auditors of organizations of all sizes and industries to document, assess, test, report and oversee the design and operating effectiveness of the typical key internal controls on which management is reliant to prevent and detect material misstatement and fraud.
