Book Synopsis Intelligent Internal Control and Risk Management by : Matthew Leitch
Download or read book Intelligent Internal Control and Risk Management written by Matthew Leitch and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people in organizations resent internal control and risk management; these two processes representing unwelcome tasks to be completed for the benefit of auditors and regulators. Over the last few years this perception has been heightened by the disastrous implementation of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which is generally regarded as having been too expensive for the benefits it has brought. This important book offers a way of improving this prevailing perception and increasing the value of control and risk management by bringing creativity and design skills to the fore. The value of risk and control activities is often limited by the value of the control ideas available and so Matthew Leitch provides an arsenal of 60 high performance control mechanisms. These include several alternative ways to design controls and control systems, as well as providing controls for monitoring and audit, controls for accelerated learning, and techniques for finding and recovering cash. This design material is combined with insights into the psychology of risk control, strategies for encouraging helpful behaviour and enabling change, and a surprisingly simple integration of internal control with risk management. The book is realistic, practical, original, and easier reading than most in the field. The material is not specific to any one country and has international appeal for internal auditors and all those concerned with risk management, corporate governance and security.

Download or read book Internal Control written by Olof Arwinge and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of internal control has developed along with audit practice. As demands have been made for greater accountability in corporate governance, the significance of internal control systems in companies has increased. Traditionally internal control has had a fairly direct relationship to financial reporting quality but wider approaches to internal control have expanded those boundaries much further. Stakeholders are increasingly concerned with the effectiveness of internal controls, and disclosure requirements are making firms to go public with regard to their internal control systems. From a design perspective, current research suggests that internal control designs are contingent upon variables such as company strategies, risk appetite, regulatory characteristics, and organizational size. Also there is much to learn about internal control quality, and the way internal control quality is associated with overall corporate governance quality. This book fills that gap.
Book Synopsis Risk Management for Success by : Norman Marks
Download or read book Risk Management for Success written by Norman Marks and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional risk management programs focus on managing and mitigating harms - in other words, on avoiding failure. But survey after survey tell us this approach is not convincing executives and boards that risk management is helping them achieve their objectives. They see it as a compliance exercise: something they have to do rather than want to do. Norman Marks draws on his personal experience as an executive and builds on the thinking in his previous books, including World-Class Risk Management, Risk Management in Plain English, and Making Business Sense of Technology Risk, to explain how risk management should instead focus on achieving success. This book discusses how a consideration of what might happen can enable informed and intelligent decisions from the setting of objectives and corporate strategies through the daily execution of the business. Those decisions enable the appropriate taking of risk so that the organization has an acceptable likelihood of achieving its objectives. An assessment of risk management is recommended by a majority of corporate governance codes around the globe and required by the Standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors. The book includes a comprehensive maturity model that details the attributes of the highest level of maturity envisaged in this book, as well as management surveys that can be tailored for your organization. They can be used as the basis for an assessment by management, the risk officer, or the internal audit team.

Book Synopsis International Risk Management by : Margaret Woods
Download or read book International Risk Management written by Margaret Woods and published by CIMA Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is very practical in its international usefulness (because current risk practice and understanding is not equal across international boundaries). For example, an accountant in Belgium would want to know what the governance regulations are in that country and what the risk issues are that he/she needs to be aware of. This book covers the international aspect of risk management systems, risk and governance, and risk and accounting. In doing so the book covers topics such as: internal control and corporate governance; risk management systems; integrating risk into performance management systems; risk and audit; governance structures; risk management of pensions; pension scheme risks e.g. hedging derivatives, longevity bonds etc; risk reporting; and the role of the accountant in risk management. There are the case studies through out the book which illustrate by way of concrete practical examples the major themes contained in the book. The book includes highly topical areas such as the Sarbanes Oxley Act and pension risk management. * provides a cross European perspective (because current practice and understanding is not equal across international boundaries) on the key issues of risk management, internal control and governance * covers the implications of Sarbanes Oxley Act for European companies and the associated risks * explains what the current risk reporting practices are and what the analysts are really looking for * looks at the key issues you need to address in order to manage your company's pension risk

Book Synopsis The Risk Management of Everything by : Michael Power
Download or read book The Risk Management of Everything written by Michael Power and published by Demos. This book was released on 2004 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the development of a new risk management culture within professions, companies and governments. The obsession with managing risk is creating organisations which are not so much risk averse as ‘responsibility averse’. In medicine, doctors are practising ‘defensive medicine’ where opinions are heavily qualified with caveats and patients left to make big decisions. The report also refers to growing evidence that since Enron’s failure, major accountancy firms are declining to work with ‘high risk’ clients - the very ones that should be thoroughly audited. “When disclaimer paragraphs are longer than the professional opinions they follow, we know something has gone wrong,” says author Professor Michael Power, a director of the ESRC Centre for Analysis of Risk and Regulation at the London School of Economics. “In the interests of transparency, small print should be made large and ruled out as a secondary risk management ploy. “The trends in professions such as medicine and auditing signal a withdrawal of individual judgement from the public. Minimal records are kept, staff are cautioned about the use of email, and normal correspondence is littered with disclaimers. The risk management of everything implies a society of ‘small print’.” Power sees the rise of the ‘risk management of everything’ as a related trend to the audit culture, which included the government’s now widely criticised love of targets as a policy tool. The Audit Explosion, Power’s previous Demos pamphlet, predicted that the overuse of audit leads to a focus on measurable outputs rather than real outcomes. “The most influential dimension of the audit explosion is the process by which [organisations] are made auditable and structured to conform to the need to be monitored,” Power wrote in 1994. Power’s new book argues that risk management is the ‘new audit’ and is having a similar distorting effect on the performance of professionals, companies and government.

Book Synopsis Integrated Assurance by : Vicky Kubitscheck
Download or read book Integrated Assurance written by Vicky Kubitscheck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for assurance is never more acute than in times of turbulence and uncertainty. The events following the financial market crisis demonstrate the catastrophic consequence of risk taking that exceeds the board’s appetite, and of not joining up risk intelligence for sound decision making. Boards and senior management alike consistently seek the ’one truth’ about risk exposures and strength of controls but are continuing to grapple with the challenge. Much has been written about assurance and the governance of risks, but mainly by those who provide it - such as internal auditors, accountants and information security technologists - for the purpose of advancing their professional practices. Less is written for or by those in governance who need assurance for the effective discharge of their responsibilities. Regulations do not usually go beyond acknowledging its importance and rely on those in the boardroom to get it right. Studies have consistently shown the link between weak corporate governance and corporate failures. The lack of reliable assurance has often been a factor. Assurance, as an integral part of corporate governance, cannot be taken for granted. It requires conscious action across the organisation. It is time to rethink assurance beyond its usual functional boundaries, to focus on what matters to the business and how discussions in the board room can be better supported by more joined up assurance. This book provides practical guidance for those who need that support as well as those who deliver assurance.
