Switzerland has introduced a new regulation that forces most SMEs to adopt an internal control system (ICS) by the end of 2008. The implementation of ICSs might not provide proper risk management approaches for the organisations. Indeed, logistical and psychological barriers might affect their proper deployments. Consequently, we have conducted two surveys: the first one addressed to the Geneva working population (417) and the second one to 225 Swiss (mostly) certified-accountants in charge of verifying the existence of ICSs.
