Audit Risk and Compliance
Why do you need Audit, Risk and Compliance?
Business and Economic Risks
The global economic environment has become extremely complex, where risk can be rapidly heightened or diminished depending on geological factors. Companies face economic risks as they enter emerging markets or react to geopolitical risks such as the massive demographic shift. Auditors need better insight into new risks, to continuously monitor effectiveness of existing controls and to design new controls to mitigate untreated risks.
Technology and Data Protection Risks
Technological innovation is challenging business models that have been the industry standard. Consider the effect ride sharing has had on the way the taxi industry has been operating for decades or how internet-based streaming services have changed the way television programs are purchased and consumed. Auditors are being asked to assess technology risks such as cyberattacks on corporate data and business systems that enable significant enterprise processes.
Regulatory and Reporting Risks
Financial and reputational consequences of non-compliance with regulations is significant. However, the regulation standards are continuously being revised. Financial reporting guidance on the classification of revenue, leases, and measurement of financial assets is changing across the globe. In addition, disclosure of non-financial information beyond the traditional annual report is becoming critical to the audit committee’s reporting oversight mandate.
