Systems and methods for testing internal control effectiveness

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for managing internal controls. Internal control systems and methods are also disclosed that provide a service catalog comprising one or more test services relating to internal applications. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for testing operating effectiveness of controls for an entity. The method may comprise creating a test plan through a calling application using a service catalog, the test plan identifying controls to be tested using at least one internal application. The method may further comprise uploading control testing results for at least one scheduled test, the testing results being uploaded from the internal application to the service catalog, validating the control testing results at the service catalog, and sending the validated results to the calling application.
