INTERNAL AUDIT & RISK MANAGEMENT
A strategically orientated and structured internal audit function can play a vital role in assisting the Board of Directors, Audit Committees and management in achieving business goals. We add value to our clients the following way :
- Focusing on risk areas through the participation in corporate governance and risk management processes
- Evaluating and recommending process improvement opportunities
- Researching best practices and making recommendations for change
- Monitoring the implementation of management strategic actions
- Organising itself as a cost-effective business unit. When designing an internal audit function, strategy must drive tactics, not the reverse
- Too often, the internal audit functions respond to immediate tactical needs. In a rush to implement responses, key strategic issues can be overlooked. The result can be a tactical internal audit function in search of a strategy.
INTERNAL AUDIT FRAMEWORK:
To help companies design, implement and maintain a strategically focused internal audit function, ACE TRUST IN developed a 10-step Strategic Internal Audit framework. This framework has been proven through ACE TRUST IN’ work with companies of all sizes. Step 1-4 focus on strategic issues, while Steps 5-10 focus on equally important, but more tactical considerations.
GDPR / DATA PROTECTION COMPLIANCE
We work with our clients to help them become GDPR Compliant and help with compliance with relevant Data Protection laws where they operate. We have a proven GDPR framework to support our clent requirements. This is even for relevant given our Globalization practice and CFO services.
The GDPR is a relatively new law and there is a dearth of expertise in the techno-legal field capable of addressing the concerns being raised after it has come into force, even as the official guidance is slowly developing.
The GDPR is here to stay. Data protection and privacy are only going to become more important as we introduce newer technologies and develop better ways to exploit data for economic gain.
The GDPR is just the beginning of a long journey towards data protection and privacy. It is but one regulation applicable to one community. Already countries in Asia and Africa have announced their intention to follow in its footsteps. The coming wave of data sovereignty will spell new compliance and implementation challenges for organizations unless they forgo their minimalist approach to the regulation and embrace its objectives as part of their organizational culture.
