NSS Internal Control Requirements Internal controls should be in compliance with: COSO (Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), and Green Book (Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States) NOTE – Frequently asked questions dated November 2014.303-2 The word “should” is used throughout section 200. Does it really mean “must”? No. The word “must” is used throughout part 200 to indicate requirements. The word “should” is used to indicate best practices or recommended approaches that the COFAR wanted non-Federal entities to be aware of, but not necessarily required to comply with. 9 § 200.303 Green Book has similar structure to COSO.
