Why should you consider a Managed Services provider for your Controls Testing and Monitoring functions?
Companies are in need of enhancements to their controls testing and monitoring programs to create effectiveness and efficiencies of testing and monitoring activities. Common challenges include:
- Lack of adequate risk coverage - As companies act and evolve in this environment, they must also confirm they’re properly managing risk in line with governance and regulatory expectations. As part of a strong risk management program, controls to manage risk are expected to be tested and monitored.
- Lack of use of enabling technologies - Controls testing and monitoring approaches continue to be manually intensive, not standardized and technology enabled, which can ultimately lead to increased compliance and operational risks.
- High cost of compliance - Compliance costs comprise a significant portion of operating expenses. Regulatory complexities and increased expectations have resulted in dedicating more time and resources to controls testing and monitoring activities.
Controls Testing and Monitoring Managed Services offers a sustainable, high-quality approach to managing controls testing and monitoring requirements and provides a more holistic view of enterprise risk management.
