COSO Principles
Industry standards that help evaluate risk and ensure transparency
What Are COSO Principles?
COSO Principles help organizations work within established industry standards to evaluate risk and ensure transparent, ethical processes. Internal Control — Integrated Framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) is used by corporations to create internal controls in the areas of operations, reporting, and compliance. Originally released in 1992, the COSO Framework was last updated in 2013.

Most U.S. companies rely on the COSO Framework as the basis for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) act. Internationally, COSO Principles have been incorporated into financial reporting legislation in many countries.
Why Are COSO Principles Important?
The COSO Framework can be beneficial to all organizations to help improve business operations, manage risk, and establish monitoring and reporting processes. The Framework is especially useful for companies filing annual reports on internal controls under Section 404 of SOX.
