Abstract
The goal of applying a Management control system (MCS) is to help an organisation in implementing its objectives and strategies efficiently and effectively. A MCS ensures the congruence between organisational units’ and managers’ goals and explains deviation between them.
The main intent of this paper is to provide an auditing framework for evaluating formal management control systems in organisations, or measuring improvement in implementing a management control system in organisations.
The study relies on an explorative study; and represents 50 questions based on the approach developed by Robert Anthony and his colleagues. The result of its application in one public organisation is presented in the final section of this paper.
