Abstract [sv]

Idag ställs det högre krav på företag att utveckla och stärka den interna kontrollen. Brister i det interna kontrollsystemet kan påverka företagets lönsamhet, framgång och i värsta fall överlevnad negativt. Mikro, små och medelstora företag har ännu inte bildat ett enhetligt internt kontrollsystem. redovisningsbranschen är en bransch som upplever problem med den interna kontrollen och därav är det den inriktning studien antar. Vidare syftar studien till att undersöka hur mikro, små och medelstora redovisningsbyråer, med hjälp av COSO-ramverke, utformar sin interna kontroll. Studien antar en kvalitativ ansats i form av sex stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultaten visade att det inte finns ett enhetligt internt kontrollsystem för redovisningsbyråer utan att de utformar den interna kontrollen på olika sätt. Vidare finns det en omedveten efterlevnad av COSO-ramverkets komponenter vid utformningen av den interna kontrollen. 

Abstract [en]

Today, higher demands are placed on companies to develop and strengthen internal control. Deficiencies in the control system can negatively affect the company´s profitability, success and, in worst case, survival. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises have not yet formed a unified internal control system. The accounting industry is an industry that experiences problems with internal control and hence the focus study assumes. Furthermore, the study aim to investigare how micro, small and medium-sized accounting firms, whit the help of the COSO framwork, design their internal control. The study assumes a qualitative approach in the form of six semi-structured interviews. The results showed that their is no uniform internal control system for accounting firms, but that they design the internal control in different ways. Furthermore, there is an unconscious adherence to the components of the COSO framwork in the design of the internal control.
