yes I do agree
The objective of internal accounting and administrative control is to ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting, safeguard assets, and promote operational efficiency. These controls help prevent fraud, mismanagement, and errors, thereby fostering accountability within the organization. Additionally, they support compliance with laws and regulations, enhancing overall organizational integrity and performance.
Internal Control
Efficiency, accuracy, and consistency.
Accounting accuracy is partially a myth. Accuracy can just mean precise down to the penny with no particular reference to anything. If the accounting number says you have $1M bucks but you have none then it is inaccurate. For something like the VALUE of inventory it is very difficult to say what the correct value is. Even it you say it is the market value -- which market? on what day? Accounting accuracy is a term used to make seemingly precise numbers seem more important than they really are. Accuracy can mean a good predictor for some future event. However, most accountants do NOT take responsibility for predicting the future ... so it is primarily a by word to make the accounting numbers seem important.
Financial and managerial accounting both involve the collection and analysis of financial data to aid decision-making within an organization. They share common principles, such as the use of standardized accounting methods and the importance of accuracy in reporting. Both disciplines aim to provide relevant information, although financial accounting focuses on external stakeholders while managerial accounting emphasizes internal management needs. Ultimately, both forms of accounting contribute to the overall financial health and strategic planning of a business.

Internal Control
Greeks were not concerned with accuracy; they were concerned with the depiction of the perfect human body, not the real one.
Good internal controls tell the auditor that the accounting system has the integrity to make him believe that the information he obtains for the reports can be reasonably relied upon to present fairly the results of the company's operations and the balance of assets.
Financial (external) reporting produces information used by external users, investors, regulatory authorities, etc. who are concerned with the overall financial situation of the company. External reporting should put a premium on accuracy and understandability. Cost Management (internal) reporting or accounting focuses on analyzing costs and their drivers--for internal purposes such as measuring efficiency or decision making processes. Although accuracy and understandability are still important, internal reporting focuses more on timeliness and relevance.
Efficiency, accuracy, and consistency.
