Electric System Financial Results Financial Planning Budget and Rates Building Community COSO Framework 3 Type of Internal Controls: Preventive Controls – stop noncompliance from occurring Designed to discourage errors or prevent irregularities from occurring. They are proactive controls that help prevent a loss. Detective Controls – identify noncompliance after it occurs. Designed to find errors or irregularities after they have occurred Compensating Control – Designed for instances when adequate segregation of duties is not present. Generally require a third party review, occur after an action is complete and takes more resources to investigate and correct errors.
