Internal controls exist in order to promote operational efficiency and effectiveness, provide reliable financial information, safeguard assets and records, encourage adherence to prescribed policies and comply with regulatory agencies. The basic concepts of internal controls indicate that the management, not auditors, must
establish and maintain the entity's controls; the internal control structure should provide reasonable assurance that financial reports are correctly stated.This study is done to promote and understanding of the internal control system based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organization (COSO) Internal Control - Integrated\ Framework. The study is to significantly highlight among the most important aspect of internal control which includes the control environment, or "Tone at the Top." The
attitudes and behaviour of senior executive management and the Board of Directors is essential to a healthy system of internal control. An internal control environment consists of management's philosophy and operating style that includes the tone at the
top that is set by the board and senior executives of an entity.
It should also include the integrity and ethical values of the employees, a proper risk assessment and evaluations, an organizational structure that promotes separation of duties and decreases conflicts of interest, the assignment of authority and
responsibility so people understand their roles and responsibilities, having competent, knowledgeable personnel who are informed of policies and procedures and have the proper training and ongoing development, communication of pertinent issues and information systems that have built-in business rules and controls.This study is done through primary data assessment. Questionnaires were distributed among the management team of TH Properties Sdn.
