Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

It has been shown that the most useful for the company are controls that identify and prevent negative events for the company before they occur.Possible directions of use of international standards for the professional practice of internal auditing (International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) in the development of internal auditing standards of an organization have been identified. A range of standards that can be developed on the basis of the IPPF in the organization is determined. The content and structure of applied standards based on the IPPF for internal audit of an enterprise are proposed.Conclusions: The application of international standards in auditing allows an organization to implement a systematic and consistent approach to the audit process. The development of internal standards of an organization based on international ones will help to improve the accuracy of the assessment of control procedures at each stage of verification, to solve problems in the field of risk management and to increase the efficiency of business processes.
