Data Quality Assessment – ModelsSTATS-DC 2010Bethesda, MD – July 28, 2010Control Self-Assessment (CSA) A generic term that covers risk self--assessment (RSA), control and risk self-assessment(CRSA), and other processes whereby an organization's personnel evaluate their ownrisks and controls with the help of facilitators from the internal audit department.Assessments can be performed through a series of workshops or meetings or throughquestionnaires and can be applied to projects, processes, business units, and functions -basically any area of a company.Whatever format is used, the goal is the same: to help organizations assess the likelihoodof achieving their business objectives by using the knowledge of the workers responsiblefor meeting them.COSO Internal Control Model COSO is recognized the world over for providing guidance on critical aspects oforganizational governance, business ethics, internal control, enterprise risk management,fraud, and financial reporting. www.coso.org www.gao.gov Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (AIMD-00-21.3.1,November 1, 1999)COBIT The comprehensive IT governance framework that addresses every aspect of IT andintegrates all of the main global IT standards /Downloads.aspxWeisbord Six Box Model “For several years I’ve experimented with “cognitive maps” of organizations. These arelabels that would help me better describe what I saw and heard and understand therelationships among various bits of data. I started this endeavor when I realized thatthough I knew a lot of organization theory, most theories are either (1) too narrow toinclude everything I wished to understand, or (2) too broadly abstract to give muchguidance.” “These notes represent a progress report on my efforts to combine bits of data, theories,research, and hunches into a working tool which anybody can use. For want of a moreelegant name, I call this tool the “Six-Box Model.” This model (Fig. 1) has helped me torapidly expand my diagnostic framework from interpersonal and group issues to the morecomplicated contexts in which organizations are managed.” www.marvinweisbord.com
