Companies worldwide are focusing more and more on corporate control processes; and, while this new emphasis has been prompted in large part by efforts to regain the confidence of the investment community, the fact is that instituting such controls can be enormously difficult. In addition to developing (or refining your current) overall management controls, you also have to consider the assurance issues that inevitably arise regarding business processes, systems, data and technology management. Add to that the demands of risk management and putting traditional third party assurance in place, and you have a formidable array of tasks before you. So, how do you make sure that your systems, processes and risk management procedures are operating effectively, within a well-controlled environment? Your turn to seasoned, widely experienced professionals like our tam at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
If this is your situation:
- You are implementing a new SAP system, and want to know whether the controls are adequate
- You need confidence in the quality of the information coming out of your management information systems.
- With system changes and complex legacy systems, you want to prevent a controls breakdown
- You want to ensure that your risk management framework is effective
- You have just had a major accounting breakdown and want to rectify the problem
- You require new enterprise resource planning controls
- You need to create a supply chain management system, with a focus on procurement and inventory management of e-based processes
- You need assistance with application security, with focus on user authorization-level policies, management processes and monitoring, as well as integration with other security systems
