What is Controlling?
Controlling refers to the process of ascertaining whether organizational objectives have been achieved; if not, why not; and determining what activities should then be taken to achieve objectives better in the future. Controlling completes the cycle of management functions. Objectives and goals that are set at the planning stage are verified as to achievement or completion at any given point in the organizing and implementing stages. When expectations are not met at scheduled dates, corrective measures are usually undertaken.
Importance of Controlling
y When controlling is properly implemented, it will help the organization
achieve its goal in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

Types of Control
Control consists of three distinct types, namely:
1.
Concurrent Control
When operations are already ongoing and activities to detect variances are made, concurrent control is said to be undertaken. It is always possible that deviations from standards will happen in the production process. When such deviations occur, adjustments are made to ensure compliance with requirements. Information on the adjustments are also necessary inputs in the pre-operation phase.
Feedback Control
When information gathered about a completed activity, and in order that evaluation and steps for improvement are derived, feedback control is undertaken. Corrective actions aimed at improving future are features of feedback control. Feedback control validates objectives and standards. If accomplishments consists only of a percentage of standard requirements, the standard may be too high or inappropriate.
Strategic Plans
A strategic plan provides the basic control mechanism for the organization. When there are indications that activities do not facilitate the accomplishment of strategic goals, these activities are either set aside, modified or expanded. These corrective measures are made possible with the adoption of strategic plans.
Performance Appraisals
Performance appraisals measures employee performance. As such, it provides employees with a guide on how to do their jobs better in the future. Performance appraisals also function as effective checks on new policies and programs. For example, if a new equipment has been acquired for the use of an employee, it would be useful to find out if it had a positive effect on his performance.
Statistical Reports
Statistical Reports pertain to those that contain data on various developments within the firm.
Financial Analysis
The success of most organizations depend heavily on its financial performance. It is just fitting that certain measurements of financial performance be made so that whatever deviations from standards are found out, corrective actions may be introduced.
