PART 1:
This practical case mentions that the internal control system of the Gran Palza Dos shopping center was evaluated, applying a
control questionnaire based on the coco model, which in some way will allow for the evaluation of the strength of internal control at a general level, thus
as well as in the various departments where this control will be carried out.
Within them, we have the purchasing department, the sales department, and inventory management. This questionnaire will in turn allow us to determine the
risk that may exist within the organization.
It will be focused on the components that the COCO model has, as we have already mentioned in the theoretical part, one of them will be
Being the purpose, the questions will be focused on the purpose and based on the skills of the staff within the organization, and to
the evaluation and learning.
This entire questionnaire will be focused on that, as I mentioned, this questionnaire is directed or based on the coco model in order to
obtain the answers that we are looking for, in order to assess the level of risk that the company has.
PART 2:
As I mentioned, this questionnaire will be oriented both at the managerial level and at the level of the entire company as well as to the departments that already
I mentioned, for example, the purchasing department as I am already putting it here, the questionnaire in this department is also focused on.
the components that have me it coco.
Similarly, a survey was also conducted in the sales department and in the inventory control department, this to
to be able to focus on the problems that this company has within those departments.
As you can see, I am presenting the surveys that have been conducted, taking into account the various parameters that have been established.
within the investigation or expertise that is being conducted.
PART 3:
Next, I will proceed to show you the assessment of potential risks to start presenting a chart.
As you can see, it is the evaluation of possible risks at a general level, taking into account the results obtained by the
questionnaires, what has been proposed based on the coco model, which presents us with the following analysis
Within the company in general, it shows us that analyzing the shopping center, based on the results obtained from the application of
questionnaire, it mentions that the company shows a 50% confidence level due to the presence of many deficiencies and
weaknesses when evaluated using the 20 criteria provided by the coco model, thus giving a high level of 50%, due to the company

level of the company in general,
PART 4:3:56
Also as a result of this survey, it mentions that within the work that has been done, communication is not effective among the staff.
Most employees, for example, are unaware of the plans and objectives that the company has.
Simply, the two employees are there out of inertia; they do not have a broad understanding of the objectives that the company has.
PART 5:4:42
Now I am going to present another chart where the possible risks in the departments of the shopping center will be elaborated, I am here having
As I mentioned, the questionnaire was carried out both in general and by the evaluated departments.
In this case, I will present the results table of the purchasing department, which, when applying the questionnaire, gives us the following result.
and it tells us, for example, that the internal control within the purchasing department determines a confidence level of 45%, that is to say it has a
high risk level, this due to the following problems that the company has.
One of them is that the policies establishing the authorization levels within the purchase of goods and services have not been established, and
Another issue is that the purchasing department does not have effective communication, which was evidenced in the general problem within the
company.
Also, the one who does not have a procedure that allows evaluating whether the personnel working in this department have the skills and the
necessary knowledge for the effective performance of your work
Well, those are the main reasons or problems that have been identified.
PART 5:6:02
Now in the sales department, the following result was obtained, it mentions that the confidence risk level is low, meaning that it would come
to be 50%, how we can observe this shows us that the level of risk is high this is also due to the following:
for example, it tells us that the department does not have policies nor have supervision levels been established to allow for evaluation and monitoring
compliance with the established objectives, it also mentions that the results obtained indicate that there is insufficient training
for the staff, they simply act in an automated manner, one could say.
I am also showing the chart about the inventory management and control department, which mentions that the level of confidence
It is low, which would be about 46%, and it shows us that the level of risk is high.
This is because, for example, the department does not have a document that establishes the
functions and responsibilities of each person within the area.
The profiles that each of the workers will have within the department have also not been defined, which is another problem.
it is identified that there is no monitoring or follow-up on the achievement of objectives, so it cannot be determined whether the personnel are
acting well.
