In a recent update to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Circular A-123, Appendix A, a clear shift was made to remove the rigidity and prescriptive nature of its predecessor, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The new title, Management of Reporting and Data Integrity Risk, gives insight into the increased focus on data quality and alignment with Enterprise Risk Management practices, which means agencies will now likely need to put in additional processes to provide assurance over controls related to all reporting, not just financial. This makes it more important than ever for management to take a proactive approach to assessing and improving the effectiveness of internal controls.
