Hello:

You are invited to participate in this survey. This questionnaire is designed to obtain information on internal controls used in an internal audit within an organisation and whether they are thought to be effective enough to deal with risks that can be faced everyday, with specific focus on the financial services.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact me, Emma Pirouet by email at the email address specified below.

Hayes (2003), said that: "Internal controls should be considered as consequences. For example, an employee forgets to deposit cash in the bank. The consequence of this is that there will be no record of the money being deposited which will show up, due to a control. The control is considered to be a consequence because if it was not in place, the error would remain undiscovered." What is your opinion of this statement?
