“…This is because its implementation strengthens the performance and protects companies against the risk of financial distress (Murhadi et al, 2018).

“…Certainly, as per Weber, it should be emphasised that the overarching goal for the implementation of controlling is "to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of management and to strengthen adaptation to changes occurring inside and outside the organisation" (Weber, 1991, p. 50;Sierpińska & Niedbała, 2003, p. 15). Ensuring the management rationality is also indicated as the goal of controlling (Kuc, 2011;Zur Muehlen, 2002;Nowosielski, 2018;Weber, 2019;Adegboye et al, 2019), which can be directly linked to "enabling managers to make more accurate (credible) decisions in the organisation" (Marciniak, 2008, p. 17), "management decision making" (Zoni & Merchant, 2007), coordination of the management system (Küpper, 2008) or "improving the business management process" (Nowak 2003, p. 9) or improving management (Zur Muehlen, 2002, p. 72).
