17 Internal Auditing: Definition Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes. Source: IIA

18 Internal Auditing: RBIA vs. IA Meaning of RBIA? How it is different from traditional IA? 1. No fundamental difference between the two. 2. However, traditional IA tends to focus on controls over financial and fraud risks, whereas RBIA focuses on controls over risks threatening the objectives of an organization. 3. RBIA is driven by the organization s objectives and risks, not internal audit s.

19 Risk: Risk Management & ERM RM is a process to identify, assess, manage, and control potential events or situations to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the organization s objectives. Source: IIA ERM is a structured, consistent and continuous process across the whole organization for identifying, assessing, deciding on responses to and reporting on opportunities and threats that affect the achievement of its objectives. Source: IIA The culture, capabilities, and practices, integrated with strategy-setting and its execution, that organizations rely on to manage risk in creating, preserving, and realizing value. (more on this later ) Source: COSO

20 Risk: Risk Management & ERM The difference between ERM and traditional risk management is in how the entity manages the risks. ERM demands for high-level oversight of the entity s entire risk portfolio, instead of different individual managers overseeing specific risks in silo. ERM encompasses: Aligning risk appetite and strategy Enhancing risk response decisions Reducing operational surprises and losses Identifying and managing multiple and cross-enterprise risks Seizing opportunities Improving deployment of capital Source: COSO

21 ERM: ERM & Corporate Governance Governance: The combination of processes and structures implemented by the board in order to inform, direct, manage, and monitor the activities of the organization toward the achievement of its objectives. Source: IIA CG involves a set of relationships between a company s management, its board, its shareholders and other stakeholders. It provides the structure through which the objectives of the company are set, and the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring performance are determined. Source: OECD The board has overall responsibility for ensuring that risks are managed. However, in practice, the board delegates the executive team to manage the risk.

22 ERM: ERM & Corporate Governance One of the key findings by OECD during in its report Corporate Governance and the Financial Crises, was that of widespread failure of risk management. In many cases risk was not managed on an enterprise basis and not adjusted to corporate strategy. Most important of all, boards were in a number of cases ignorant of the risk facing the company. Risk management failures at major corporations could be not only as the result of shortcomings in financial risk-taking: Environmental catastrophes, Accounting fraud and Foreign bribery. Often these failures were (at least) facilitated by corporate governance failures, where boards did not fully appreciate the risks that the companies were taking (if they were not engaging in reckless risk-taking themselves), and/or deficient risk management systems.

23 ERM: COSO COSO s ERM-Integrated Framework in Need for it? 2016 Update: ERM Aligning Risk with Strategy & Performance. The Framework has five components and 23 principles that support these five components. ERM addresses more than internal control. It also addresses other topics such as setting strategy, governance, communicating with stakeholders, and measuring performance. Its principles apply at all levels of the organization and across all functions. Source: OECD

24 ERM: COSO Model

25 ERM: Role of Internal Auditing in ERM Everyone in the organization plays a role in ensuring successful enterprise-wide risk management but the primary responsibility for identifying risks and managing them lies with management. Auditor s core role with regard to ERM is to provide objective assurance to the board on the effectiveness of risk management. ERM Diagram: ERM activities vis-à-vis internal audit activity should and should not undertake. The key questions: Assurance Role: whether independence and objectivity are threatened? Consultancy Role: whether internal auditor is assuming any management responsibility?

27 RBIA: Challenges & Opportunities What if there is no ERM in your organization? Ways of identifying risk interviews, surveys, risk workshops, the accounts Aligning Audit Universe with the organization s strategy and keeping pace with business change by being adaptive to the risk landscape. Assurance work is most valuable when it is aligned with the strategic risk of the organization CBOK Stakeholder Survey Ability to ask: What should we do? Not What can we do?

28 RBIA: Challenges & Opportunities According to PWC s 2015 State of the Internal Audit Professional Study, 60% of the 1300 CAEs surveyed believed that they will need to be providing valueadded services and proactive advise for the business within the next 5 years.
