The updated version incorporates 1) New introduction to encapsulate the attributes and components of internal control as is best practice, taking full consideration of all existing control processes in UNDP. The new introduction follows more closely the COSO internal control model, and is therefore very broad in its coverage of administrative and programmatic areas. 2) The Operational Guide of the ICF, to better reflect its level of detail.
