Control Self-Assessment (CSA)
Control Self-Assessment (CSA) is a process where employees and managers evaluate and improve their organization's internal controls and risk management practices. It involves individuals reviewing their own activities to identify potential problems or weaknesses, ensuring processes are effective and compliant with regulations. CSA encourages proactive participation, enhances awareness of risks, and promotes accountability, helping organizations prevent errors, fraud, and operational inefficiencies. Essentially, it’s a structured way for teams to assess and strengthen their internal controls regularly, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and risk awareness.
