Modernizing the Library’s Internal Control Program (ICP) was imperative to improving its risk management activities. The Library created organization-level ownership of the ICP process by reinventing the ICP into a comprehensive five-phase process. Automating the ICP helped the Library create an efficient and effective tool to evaluate and monitor its risk management activities. Reinventing and automating the ICP has radically improved the Library’s ability to evaluate and monitor each assessable unit’s risk management through the early detection of waste, fraud and abuse.
