Purpose: organizational control is presented in contemporary times as the first link to start a linear and upward career towards total quality, for this reason, in small companies it's study and inclusion contribute to the fulfillment of strategic objectives and safeguards organizational resources, key aspects when it comes to mitigating the risks that arise in this type of organization due to the absence of formal control and governance structures; therefore, the objective of the work is to design an organizational control model applicable to small companies in the textile sector in the city of Santiago de Cali, Colombia. Methodology: the research is no-experimental since the variables/categories studied are not manipulated, it is method is deductive since reality was studied from the theoretical foundation, the descriptive scope, its applied application, and information from qualitative character -a triangulation of data, sources and operationalization of categories-; based on this type of information, instruments - interviews and semistructured questionnaires - were designed, validated and applied to obtain empirical evidence regarding the needs and interests and procedures for the design of an organizational control model applicable to small companies in the textile sector in the city of Santiago de Cali. Results: a proposal based on the own conformation of the topological, holistic models is presented, which observes the control in the organization through three subcategories -administrative control, operational control, and accounting control- and in its constant operationalization of the following triad: 1. Measurement Initial: the moment where through a diagnostic tool risks can be measured and their levels of criticism can be identified. 2. Application of action plans: a scenario in which solutions are designed to face the problems identified in the initial measurement; on this point, it is significant that the action plans are proposed with a structure that integrates an improvement component in the control culture, control activities, and space for monitoring and feedback. 3. Subsequent measurement: the model closes its cycle with the preparation of a new diagnosis and with it, the validation of the evaluation of the proposed activities and their fulfillment. Originality: the promise of value of this work is based on the opportunities it offers to small companies in terms of simplicity, coverage, access, replication, use of resources and capabilities, that is, it is a solution that adjusts to the characteristics of sector under study. Also, the model is expected to be useful in economic sectors with characteristics such as the one studied and in various latitudes.
