Manage Assurance Effectively

Managing audit and assurance has been a significant challenge for financial services firms.

Problem

Some of the typical challenges faced by assurance teams include:

  1. Lack resources - human and technology.
  2. Functions are aligned either based on rules, internal policies or business units. Lack a central firm-wide consistent methodology.
  3. Rely on first line teams to provide the required information. Usually, upwards of 80% of time is consumed in gathering information leaving little time for meaningful analysis. Surprisingly, this happens in every single cycle.
  4. Mostly use internal technologies or spreadsheets and need new tools to manage their deliverables.
  5. Tracking and managing findings to closure is not efficient due to lack of an integrated 3-lines of defense solution to manage compliance and assurance across all obligations.
  6. Since this is a manual process, the effort is replicated across all the obligations and business units.
