- Controlling helps organizations to readjust their plans in cases of changes in the
environment. Plans will thus remain appropriate.
- A proper control system will help a manager to grasp all the inner working of the
organization. It can provide instant data on inventories of all resources, raw materials,
work-in-progress and finished goods.
- Control procedures help to detect errors in good time. A small error not detected early

faulty products which in effect will lead to poor sales.
- Controls therefore help managers to answer a very important question, 'how well are we
doing?'
