In my opinion the main ingredients for a successful internal control policy are :

1. Reporting & Variance / deviation analysis vis-a-vis  standards to identify problems and then resolve them. This is "Management by Exception" principle as seen from the prism of internal controls.

2. Any activity having significant effect on quality, costs, revenue should be routed through at least2 individuals for automatic checks and balances to avoid mistakes or frauds.

3. Periodic reviews by a set of individuals who are not directly responsible for the particular activity e.g. auditor, board committee, external consultants.
