Abstract
El presente trabajo de titulación aborda la implementación de un sistema de control interno basado en el modelo COSO III en la Junta de Aguas de la Acequia del Cantón Pimampiro, ubicado en la provincia de Imbabura. El sistema se divide en cinco componentes integrados: ambiente de control, evaluación de riesgos, actividades de control, información y comunicación, actividades de monitoreo y supervisión. La implementación del sistema COSO III tiene como objetivo principal mejorar la transparencia, la eficiencia operativa y la seguridad de los procesos ejecutivos de la organización, garantizando así la distribución equitativa del agua y la gestión adecuada de los recursos hídricos. En el contexto de la Junta de Aguas, la ausencia de un control interno fuerte puede evidenciar riesgo como: operativos, errores, fraudes, malversaciones, pérdida de datos e interrupciones en los servicios. Además, un control interno deficiente puede llevar a incumplimientos normativos y regulatorios, afectando la integridad de los estados financieros y, por ende, la toma de decisiones. Este trabajo pretende diseñar y proponer un sistema de control interno que aborde estas deficiencias, basándose en los principios y directrices del COSO III. xvii La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante un análisis exhaustivo de la situación actual del sistema de control interno de la Junta de Aguas, identificando sus fortalezas y debilidades. Los hallazgos revelaron una necesidad urgente de fortalecer los mecanismos de control interno para reducir los riesgos de fraude y malversación, mejorar la comunicación entre la Junta y los usuarios, y asegurar la sostenibilidad ambiental de las operaciones. A partir de estos hallazgos, se diseñaron políticas y procedimientos específicos para cada uno de los cinco componentes del COSO III. Entre las principales recomendaciones del estudio se incluye la formalización de la adopción del marco COSO III, la capacitación continua del personal en gestión hídrica, financiera y ambiental, y la implementación de herramientas digitales para optimizar la comunicación. El resultado de esta investigación no solo proporcionará a la Junta de Aguas una estructura sólida para el control interno, sino que también mejorará la eficiencia y equidad en la distribución del agua, fomentará una gestión más justa de los recursos hídricos, y contribuirá a la protección del ecosistema local. Este trabajo de titulación, por lo tanto, no solo tiene un impacto significativo en la operatividad de la Junta de Aguas, sino que también puede servir como modelo para otras organizaciones comunitarias en contextos similares.
This degree work addresses the implementation of an internal control system based on the COSO III model in the Acequia Water Board of the Pimampiro Canton, located in the province of Imbabura. The system is divided into five integrated components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, monitoring and supervision activities. The main objective of the implementation of the COSO III system is to improve the transparency, operational efficiency and security of the organization's executive processes, thus guaranteeing the equitable distribution of water and the proper management of water resources. In the context of the Water Board, the absence of strong internal control can reveal risks such as: operational errors, fraud, embezzlement, loss of data and interruptions in services. Furthermore, poor internal control can lead to regulatory and regulatory non-compliance, affecting the integrity of financial statements and, therefore, decision making. This work aims to design and propose an internal control system that addresses these deficiencies, based on the principles and guidelines of COSO III. xix The investigation was carried out through an exhaustive analysis of the current situation of the internal control system of the Water Board, identifying its strengths and weaknesses. The findings revealed an urgent need to strengthen internal control mechanisms to reduce the risks of fraud and embezzlement, improve communication between the Board and users, and ensure the environmental sustainability of operations. Based on these findings, specific policies and procedures were designed for each of the five components of COSO III. Key recommendations from the study include formalizing the adoption of the COSO III framework, ongoing staff training in water, financial and environmental management, and implementing digital tools to optimize communication. The result of this research will not only provide the Water Board with a solid structure for internal control, but will also improve efficiency and equity in water distribution, encourage fairer management of water resources, and contribute to the protection of the local ecosystem. This titling work, therefore, not only has a significant impact on the operation of the Water Board, but can also serve as a model for other community organizations in similar contexts.
