The internal control system had a positive and significant influence on financial performance. Following these findings, it concluded in this study that the control environment, risk assessment, control activities and internal auditing are important in improving financial performance of an organisation. This follows from the fact that internal control system helps the mining company to arrest fraud perpetration.
