The Internal Model Principle (IMP) of control theory states (informally) that “a good controller incorporates a model of the dynamics that generate the signals which the control system is intended to track.” Briefly, the controller contains a model of its “exosystem”, or ”outside world.” While more formal statements
The internal model principle can intuitively be expressed as: 'Any good regulator must create a model of the dynamic structure of the environment in the closed loop system' ” [1, page 333]. Figure 1: Block diagram of a closed-loop control system. where e(t) = L−1(E(s)).

Basic Principles of Internal Control
Internal control is the process designed to ensure reliable financial reporting, effective and efficient operations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Safeguarding assets against theft and unauthorized use, acquisition, or upper‐level disposal is also part of internal control.
The main principles of the internal control system:
- Establishment Responsibilities.
- Maintain Records.
- Ensure Assets by bonding key employees.
- Segregate duties.
