Builds on cycle approach evaluation criteria recommended by the AICPA Special Advisory Committee on Internal Accounting Control in its 1979 report.

Extensive appendixes provide detailed checklists and records to facilitate testing and reporting control strengths and weaknesses, adaptable to the needs of the particular company.
