The rating of internal control has been viewed as more subjective than objective. This ICI Rating System provides a quantitative rating of your organization’s internal control system based on the COSO Internal Control Framework model and the Malcolm Baldrige scoring system. In addition, the rating identifies why the rating has or has not met the COSO control framework standards. This is provided in a workbook format for effective implementation.
