Section 1.3(1) of Guidance on Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (ICFR) requires that every Public Company and Public Interest Entity (PIE) are required to file, on annual basis, its audited financial statements including a report on Management assessment on internal control over financial reporting, to the Commission and Council. Public companies and PIEs were mandated to report on ICFR in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

In the subsequent year of adopting ICFR, organizations transition from the initial design and implementation phase into a period of testing, and continuous improvement.

While the first year focuses heavily on establishing frameworks, policies, and control documentation, the second and subsequent year is about strengthening execution, adapting practices into daily operations, and achieving sustainable compliance.
