Being 'effective' is best defined as a combination of design effectiveness and operating effectiveness. Design effectiveness refers to how well a control or process is structured to achieve its intended outcomes, while operating effectiveness assesses how well the control or process is functioning in practice. Together, these dimensions ensure that controls are not only well-designed but also effectively implemented and operational. Reference:
