Description n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 100.0% Target Met. The Statements of Assurance (SOA) submitted by the agency’s major components provide the basis for the measurement of the effectiveness of the FTC’s risk-based internal control environment. Each component completed questionnaires specific to its functions that addressed the Government Accountability Office’s, “Standards of Internal Control” and other internal documentation supporting the SOA. The information was reviewed by the agency’s internal control management. In addition, the Financial Management Office conducted the first two reviews in accordance with its Internal Control Review Plan. Based on the SOAs and these internal reviews, this performance measure is met by 100% of the Bureaus/ Offices.
