In management, controlling is dynamicin setting performance standards, measuring performance, comparing the performance from goals and standards, and taking corrective actions. Organizations use different types of control such as feedback control, concurrent, and feedforward control to reduce errors, maintain standard necessary in achieving organizational goals.When an organization discovers ghost workers on their payrolls. This risk could be minimized by developing a control system that reveals most of the errors listed in the payroll, germane to accounting department and the human resources department. Management should take corrective measures to transform resources into output and to minimize unethical behaviour among the employees.
