La tesi si propone come obiettivo quello di analizzare come una delle pratiche più diffuse dalle Società di medie-grandi dimensioni, l’outsourcing dei processi, possa avere un impatto sul sistema di controllo interno. Partendo dalle linee generali dell’outsourcing, si intende evidenziarne le criticità esistenti e, dopo aver analizzato un caso pratico, con la raccolta dei dati derivanti da diverse interviste, dare atto ad una visione di insieme, per capire dove le Società stanno dirigendosi, considerando i rischi e i vantaggi della scelta strategica. La tematica centrale che la tesi intende analizzare in chiave critica e originale, sarà quindi quella dell’impatto della scelta di esternalizzazione di attività core e non sul sistema di controllo interno, dopo una analisi teorica di quest’ultimo e del modello su cui si fonda, il modello C.O.S.O. Tale aspetto verrà approfondito ulteriormente attraverso due punti fondamentalmente pratici. Il primo riguarda l’analisi di un caso concreto relativo ad un’azienda che permetta di capire quali sono le scelte di base e le decisioni che vengono prese nel corso dell’esternalizzazione di un processo senza però affrontare il rischio di intercorrere ad un vuoto nel sistema di controllo interno. Il secondo fa riferimento ad uno studio condotto attraverso la raccolta di dati qualitativi e quantitativi derivante da un questionario inviato a differenti aziende del Pavese. Per affrontare i temi sopra descritti, si prevede di fare ricorso innanzitutto alla teoria ed alla letteratura scientifica sugli argomenti citati nella prima parte dell’elaborato; per la parte relativa al caso pratico, si prevede di svolgere dei colloqui diretti con il personale coinvolto nel processo a livello top, e l’integrazione, con dei questionari a risposta multipla. Lo schema su cui si vuole basare il lavoro sarà principalmente il seguente: partire dall’analisi dell’outsourcing e del sistema di controllo interno, cercando di capire cosa spinge le Società di medie dimensioni ad effettuare una scelta di importante impatto strategico e come le stesse siano in grado di adattare e modellare il sistema di controllo interno relativo. Si tenterà, in sostanza, di capire se è effettivamente efficace ed efficiente investire sull’outsourcing e costruire intorno ad esso un sistema di controllo interno in grado di ridurne al minimo i rischi, quesito per il quale, ad oggi, non esiste una letteratura specifica e chiara.

Abstract
The thesis aims to analyze as one of the most common practices by the companies of medium-large, process outsourcing, may have an impact on the internal control system. Starting with the general lines of outsourcing, it is intended to highlight the weaknesses and, after analyzing a practical case, with the collection of data from several interviews, give credit to an overview, to understand where the Companies are heading, considering the risks and benefits of the strategic choice. The central theme of the thesis is to analyze in a critical and original, is therefore the impact of the choice of outsourcing of core activities and not on the internal control system, after a theoretical analysis of the latter and the model on which it is based The COSO model This aspect will be further deepened through two points basically practical.
