Assignment: Strategic Audit Report: Evaluation And Control
1. Write an overview of how Sara Lee measures performance, what specific measurement tools or programs they use, and if it is effective or not. Additionally, recommend one change or new measurement tool they should make or use, and why.
2. Controls are established to focus on actual performance results (output controls), activities that generate the performance (behavior controls), and resources used in performance input controls.

Input controls focus on resources such as skill sets, abilities, values, and intelligence (Wheelen, Hoffman, Hunger, Bamford, & Deresky, 2016).
