El entorno de control contribuye a marcar pautas de comportamiento en una organización, y tiene influencia directa en el nivel de conciencia del personal con respecto al control y facilita el cumplimiento de los objetivos. Entender y definir los procesos es fundamental en cualquier organización y se convierte en el punto de partida de una adecuada gestión y optimización de recursos.

Qué es un proceso
• Una serie organizada de actividades relacionadas que, en forma conjunta, contribuyen a lograr los objetivos pre-establecidos.
  Debe ser diseñado para facilitar el logro de los objetivos y metas, no para obstaculizar (mejores controles, optimización de costos, documentación oportuna, entre otros).
• Las organizaciones son tan eficientes y eficaces en la medida en que también lo son sus procesos.
