Reliability of financial reporting.
There are actually four internal control objectives of financial reporting. They are 1) Control Environment 2) Risk Assessment 3) Information and Communication Systems 4) Monitoring. These internal control objectives help aid in presenting financial statements that are free of material misstatements. But just because internal control measures are implemented, doesn't mean people cannot circumvent those controls.
Internal control would be judged as effective if its components are present and function effectively for operations, financial reporting, and compliance.

Internal control evaluation involves assessing the design and effectiveness of a company's internal controls to ensure that resources are safeguarded, financial reporting is accurate, and operations are efficient. This process typically includes identifying key controls, testing them to ensure they are operating effectively, and addressing any weaknesses or deficiencies found. The goal is to provide assurance that the organization's objectives are being achieved and that risks are being managed effectively.
