Enterprise Risk Management
Risk Assessments
As organizations grow and their operations become more complex, managing their risks becomes more critical to business success. Risk management has grown increasingly difficult over the years, prompting organizations to recognize the importance of managing their risks and ultimately increasing the size and reach and of their risk management functions.
Application Security
The use of complex ERP systems, that provide integrated functionality across core financial business processes, is increasing risks of fraud and misstatement of financial reports. Organizations often implement software and focus on functionality over security but soon find themselves dealing with risk exposures and audit findings. Well though through application security design is key to any successful business solution.
Business Controls
In contrary to many myths, risk management should never burden or slow down an organization - it helps it succeed. Effective business controls not only protects existing value, but also results in more efficient operations, better and faster decision making, reduced costs, and improved performance. Many organizations, however, are not getting full value from their investments because their business processes are disconnected, expose risk and ultimately financial losses to the business.
IT Controls
If confidential information about a business' customers or finances or new product line fall into the hands of a competitor, such a breach of security could lead to lost business, law suits or even bankruptcy of the business. Protecting confidential information is a business requirement, and in many cases also an ethical and legal requirement. It is critical to identify your high risk areas, improve your security and access controls and implement or assess IT controls across your environment.
Segregation of Duties
It is a struggle to meet the compliance and regulatory requirements of your business applications. Many organizations fail to compliance audits because they simply do not have the resources to structure the business for maximum risk management. Segregation of Duties is one of the primary means to prevent fraud but it must be embraced without crippling your organization.
Compliance
Regulatory compliance, investor relations, down-time costs, employee trust, and reputation are constantly growing pressures. Organizations face increasing scrutiny from regulators, auditors, shareholders and trading partners to certify the security, integrity and accuracy of their financial statements and sensitive private information such as customer and employee data. Developing compliance strategies and execution of solutions and monitoring controls is key to compliance.
