标题：A literature review of the sustainability,the managerial conduct of management and the internal control systems evident in South African small,medium and micro enterprises
摘要：The purpose of this research study is to theoretically investigate the sustainability,the managerial conduct of management and the internal control systems evident in South African small,medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs).To achieve the aforementioned,a literature review was conducted through analyzing relevant secondary data from journal articles,theses,dissertations,books,and reports.According to popular literature,the overall sustainability of any organization is strongly influenced by its internal control systems.Taking into account the weak sustainability of South African SMMEs,it appears that the soundness of the internal control systems of these business entities is adversely influenced by the managerial conduct of its management.This is particularly the case,since the managerial conduct of management in South Africa is often described as flexible;the managerial conduct of management makes up a substantial part of the control environment which,in turn,is deemed as the foundation of any system of internal control.In quintessence,the literature reviewed shows that the sustainability of South African SMMEs is adversely influenced by a flexible managerial conduct of management which directly (and negatively) impacts on the soundness of their internal control systems;their abilities to attain relevant objectives in the foreseeable future.
