Answer & Explanation:THEME ONE: Known as the
critical thinking phase of the process its function is to evaluate the
goals to see what and who works and doesn’t and why?  In the traditional
definition controlling involves ensuring that performance does not
deviate from standards. Controlling consists of three steps, which
include (1) establishing performance standards, (2) comparing actual
performance against standards, and (3) taking corrective action when
necessary. Performance standards are often stated in monetary terms such
as revenue, costs, or profits but may also be stated in other terms,
such as units produced, number of defective products, or levels of
quality or customer service.
The measurement of performance can be done in several
ways, depending on the performance standards, including financial
statements, sales reports, production results, customer satisfaction,
and formal performance appraisals. Managers at all levels engage in the
managerial function of controlling to some degree.
Effective controlling requires the existence of plans,
since planning provides the necessary performance standards or
objectives. Controlling also requires a clear understanding of where
responsibility for deviations from standards lies. Two traditional
control techniques are budget and performance audits. An audit involves
an examination and verification of records and supporting documents. A
budget audit provides information about where the organization is with
respect to what was planned or budgeted for, whereas a performance audit
might try to determine whether the figures reported are a reflection of
actual performance. Although controlling is often thought of in terms
of financial criteria, managers must also control production and
operations processes, procedures for delivery of services, compliance
with company policies, and many other activities within the
organization.
