The purpose of the questionnaire here (questionnaire #1)
is to obtain opinions and findings about existance of internal control elements.
The responses give corroborating information
when making an overall conclusion about internal control.

Responses to claims and questions (items) in questionnaire
alone do not give adequate basis to conclude
whether internal control system is effective and efficient or not.
In order to make such conclusions you need a questionnaire
whose items take into account internal control elements,
[internal] control objectives,
the way internal control elements and objectives are related,
and how this system actually works in processes.
There is an analogy to construction materials and a house.
What you get in the survey can be
compared to information about existance of construction materials.
What you will be lacking is information
whether the materials were properly used and put together [to make a house good for living].
