INTERNAL CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

The Unilever control model is based on a set of Business Principles that


establish efficiency standards. It is critical that senior directors in each section
understand the importance of internal control because they are a critical component of
massive risk factors. The Boards of Directors are responsible for setting up a process
to examine the effectiveness of internal controls, as well as reviewing and evaluating
their effectiveness. Unilever evaluates the effectiveness of its internal control system
on a daily basis and monitors its risks on an ongoing basis.

OPERATIONS CONTROLS:
Operations Controls is the control in which you make certain that operations activities
are carried out as they were planned. Operations Controls include following controls:
Financial Control
Budget Control
Inventory Control
Care Control
Cost Control

FINANCIAL CONTROL:
Unilever's board of directors implemented fiscal controls in order to monitor public
presentation and compare it to the achievement of fiscal goals. Unilever executives
devise plans to line the hazard in a systematic way. They use a financial appraisal
procedure to determine at what pace they are achieving their strategic fiscal goals.
This procedure requires each concern unit's senior director to assess the effectiveness
of fiscal controls.

BUDGET CONTROL:
Unilever's directors use budget control to track whether their income and outgoings
are planned or not. They have a comprehensive budget system that is approved by all
stakeholders and the board of directors, and it is regularly revised and restructured.
The public presentations against Unilever's budget are tracked using a monthly and
quarterly coverage model. The updated study is then distributed to the various
stakeholders.

INENTORY CONTROL:
Unilever Philippines has a very well-organized system in place to manage their
inventory. They produce goods in accordance with their customers' desires and
gustatory sensations. They face a greater challenge in terms of supply concatenation
and warehouse capacity on their own. At their various distribution centers, where they
control the supply and demand of their merchandises, they had a very strong stock list
control. Unilever also has a proper warehouse management system in place, with
which they have capacitated their stock lists..

MAINTENANCE CONTROL:
Unilever Philippines has a proper care control system. The care director at Unilever
separately monitors the equipment on day-to-day footing. After supervising, they
create a study on the history of this monitoring for future scrutiny. Furthermore, they
have a warning system qui vives on their equipment ‘s which makes their controlling
system more effectual and efficient.

COST CONTROL:

accordance with the budgeted costs. Cost control is critical at Unilever because it
determines the company's stability. Unilever keeps costs under control in order to
increase net income. They have a proper check and balance over the waste of natural
resources in order to extinguish those natural resources that are inequitable for their
production procedure.

INSPECTION:
In addition to a review system, Unilever employs inspectors. They inspect the quality
of goods, machines and equipment, natural materials used in the production of goods,
as well as the site and location where they conduct their research.

AUDITED ACCOUNT AT UNILEVER:


Unilever's internal audit performs an important function in ensuring the value of risk
management and other related control operations to both operations management and
the Board. Unilever has an independent audit commission that is entirely made up of
Non-Executive Directors. This Committee meets with the Chief Auditor and external
hearers on a regular basis.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY:
Unilever employs information engineering to provide directors with the information
they require in order to make decisions. Unilever employs the SAP package to
supervise and command its operations, which is now used globally. The ERP system
generates one-year sustainability reports. SAP is collaborating more with business
leaders and procedure leaders; it develops and supports business schemes. The SAP
system values its clients, has run into them, has begun to listen to them, and has begun
to take disciplinary actions in response to their demands.
Mistakes can be controlled by SAP and corrected as soon as they are detected.

SAP:
SAP stands for Systems Application and Products in Data Processing. It was created
as a criterion-based package by IBM applied scientists in the 1970s. Organizations
rely on SAP to complete their tasks. This includes managing their daily operations,
inbound and outbound logistics, funds, human resources, and so on.

centralize the database systems and maps of each section in a single system. Unilever
