Control frameworks and compliance: Bridging the gap to risk management.

On demand webinar

Oversight of the internal control environment is a critical component for compliance professionals. What gives them – and their board, executive and regulators – comfort that those controls are helping the organisation achieve objectives safely and consistently? To achieve a level of comfort, many turn to control frameworks which outline common practices to implement those controls. In some cases, alignment with those frameworks becomes a de facto requirement.

Ineffective implementation of control frameworks can miss the forest for the trees. Implemented controls can become a burden and 'something we have to do', rather than linking to business objectives. At their worst, they become a tangled mess of documentation and provide a false sense of security until something goes wrong. Meanwhile, compliance professionals struggle to identify critical information when they need it to gain assurance or highlight red flags.

Join Protecht Chief Research & Content Officer, David Tattam, and our Research & Content Lead, Michael Howell to explore how you can build an effective controls management process that aligns with controls framework and provides assurance to compliance and risk professionals alike.
