Internal control, accountability and corporate governance presents the following source proposition: Findings The paper demonstrates that most of the internal controls found today are present in medieval England. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Reforms that increase executive accountability to shareholders and increase shareholder control over executives do not solve the problem of corporate short-term focus. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.5246.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
