A complete internal control system and a perfect internal control system are the criteria to restrict and standardize the management behavior of enterprises, and are important measures to reduce risks. The implementation of internal control can find and correct all kinds of mistakes and illegal behaviors in time, which is conducive to ensuring the safety and integrity of assets and ensuring the authenticity and reliability of operating results and financial status.

According to the operating rules and handling procedures, determine the investigation measures, investigate the responsibilities, rewards and punishments, etc. , so that the right to return, benefit to enjoy, to avoid the phenomenon of ultra vires or buck passing.

The fifth is the principle of cost performance. The principle of cost-effectiveness runs through the internal control activities, that is, trying to obtain the maximum economic benefits with the least control or management costs. Implement selective control: strive to reduce control costs, streamline institutions and personnel as much as possible, improve control methods and means, and improve efficiency.

The sixth is the principle of operability. The internal control manual must conform to the actual situation of the joint-stock company. Whether setting the control point of business process or determining the authority of authorized projects, it is necessary to consider whether it is feasible in actual management and ensure its operability.

Seventh, the principle of inclusiveness. The internal control manual is a series of risk control process control system based on the existing management system of joint-stock companies, covering investment, production, operation, finance, supervision and inspection. The internal control manual strives to avoid conflicts with other systems, including conflicts with existing systems as far as possible. Other management systems that do have conflicts should be revised and improved in time, and the provisions of the internal control manual shall prevail.

Eight is the principle of information feedback. Determine the tasks and responsibilities of the relevant personnel in information transmission, stipulate the information transmission procedures, collection methods and time requirements, and establish a strict information feedback system such as records and reports.
