Corporate governance highly depends on the installation of a system for the identification, evaluation and control of the risks surrounding the administration of the invested resources. Since Board members do not have executive power, one of the business risks is always the agency risk, according to which business resource managers may put their own interests and priorities ahead of the interests and priorities of the owners/ shareholders. Hence, the Board must surround the administration of business resources with a management control system, considering inherent business risks and encompassing three types of control: custody, performance and information quality. In this article, we show the main concepts and tools of this system and argue that it needs to be integrated and unified in one single organ, which must be the Controller's Office. This function needs to be reformulated so as to obtain a totally independent position in the organizational structure of companies. This is the foundation of the new Controllership model.Downloads
