3. Control Effectiveness
The content on this page pertains to evaluating the efficacy of current controls (derived from the controls self-assessment already in place) at UNFPA concerning the specific risk factors identified. A scoring system has been created to simplify the process of assessing the effectiveness of the controls and assigning suitable scores.
Overview
Overview
Control Effectiveness is about how control activities (policies, procedures, techniques, and mechanisms) help ensure that management’s response to reduce risks identified. Controls could be preventive or corrective actions in place to mitigate the risk, including automated, manual or semi-automated controls. Reflect on current controls that are in place to address each risk factor identified. This control effectiveness is to be considered while assessing the impact and likelihood/probability of the risk factor in the subsequent section.

Control rating -1
Control rating -1
NO, significant improvement is needed in this area - internal controls must be in place or operate effectively to support achieving objectives.
Control rating -2
YES, but some improvement is needed in this area. i.e., internal controls are in place and overall seem to be operating effectively to support achieving objectives but could be enhanced in some aspects.
Control rating-3
YES, Internal controls are in place and are operating effectively to support achieving objectives.

Choose View Controls. A new window will pop up with the name of the controls mapped to this risk factor, the type of control, the control category, and the corresponding weight of this individual control to the selected risk factor.

Select the most appropriate control effectiveness ratings for each control covered by this assessment using the 3-point scale adopted at UNFPA . The ratings (control effectiveness) will inform what further mitigation steps would be needed to reduce the risk identified. If this control is also mapped to another risk factor, there will be no need to assess the control again, as the previously assessed rating and the justification will be displayed. You can view the risk catalog to see the mapping of risk and controls.
