Micro and small businesses face difficulties in creating effective internal controls due to different factors. There has also been an alarming rate of occurrence of error and fraud in micro and small businesses, and some relate this to the ineffectiveness of the internal control system.

This study utilized quantitative research and descriptive statistics to summarize the results. The purposive sampling technique was incorporated in which participants were only limited to owner/managers, financial people, and rank and file accounting employees of micro and small clothing businesses in Dasmariņas City, Cavite. Based on the data gathered, preventive internal control measures being implemented by micro and small clothing businesses in Dasmariņas City, Cavite are somehow lacking and not fully beneficial while detective controls are effective on detection and minimization of error and fraud.
