Understanding the Risk Management Internal Control Program: Strengthening Internal Controls to Enhance Organizations
Fort Bliss, TX —
The majority of us come to work every day where operations run smoothly, missions are planned and executed and teams work together seamlessly. Now imagine just beneath the surface, risks are lurking that could mean the difference between mission success and failure. The Risk Management Internal Control (RMIC) program is your first line of defense that ensures no threat, big or small, goes unchecked. Quentin Brown, Director of the Quality Assurance Office at the NCO Leadership Center of Excellence (NCOLCoE) underscores the program’s broader role in fostering collaboration and ensuring that internal controls evolve with the organization’s needs. “At the end of the day, you want everything you are dealing with to be current and relevant,” Brown explains, emphasizing how the program strengthens communication within the organization. The RMIC program is not just a regulatory requirement but a dynamic and collaborative process that delivers organizational assurance by actively safeguarding the Army’s operations and finances.
