Administrative control is considered one of the main functions of management, which begins with the process of planning, organizing, directing, and then controlling. The success of management depends on the efficient execution of these tasks. The control function is not separate from other management functions but is complementary to them. It is as important as any other management function for all types of projects and establishments, regardless of their activity or whether they belong to the public, governmental, or private sector. The administrative control function is also practiced by all managers and supervisors at various administrative levels, but within specific limits for each.

In today's societies and organizations, control is the vigilant eye over the rest of the administrative processes, acting as a fortress that protects the state, institutions, and people from corruption, deviation, low productivity, and other forms of decay. Therefore, we can say that administrative control is the cornerstone of institutional performance because it works to highlight points of deviation in the organization at various levels, contributing to the rapid correction of errors.

Control bodies in the public sector have been extensively characterized, covering control over the executive authority and various government agencies. The administrative control process has also included the private sector in all its activities, operations, and levels.

It is no secret that in the current financial and economic conditions characterized by intense competition among business organizations, both domestically and internationally, these organizations must give great importance to the administrative control function in particular and to the management process in general. This allows them to achieve their goals, succeed, and offer new things to the consumer through good control over product quality, as well as control over individual performance and its evaluation to achieve the best results through various appropriate control means and tools.

This book includes nine chapters in which the author has tried as much as possible to cover the various aspects of the administrative control process. The first chapter deals with control, its objectives, means, and responsibilities. The second chapter discusses the concept of control, its benefits, and the most important strategic standards used in control. The third chapter covers monitoring and performance evaluation systems, and the fourth chapter addresses the scientific foundations of monitoring. In the fifth chapter, the author attempts to define the practical foundations for performance evaluation. Chapters six, seven, and eight discuss the most important areas of control, whether over inventory or purchasing. In the ninth chapter, the author sheds light on internal control and internal and external auditing. A brief overview of the legislative framework for control in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is also provided, along with a discussion of the control function in the Islamic state.
