6 Where you can benefit Attaining value from an advanced monitoring and testing approach Regulatory compliance testing (e.g., FS, pharma, healthcare, utilities, etc.) Information technology compliance testing Third-party risk management Anti-corruption controls Although processes differ by industry sector, examples of areas where companies can gain significant benefits include: Supply chain issues and contract compliance Revenue processes and revenue compliance testing Expanded Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) But how do you do this efficiently? 11 Key aspects of advanced monitoring and testing programs

7 Advanced managed monitoring and testing model Bringing the right tools to create a targeted, consistent, scalable, and cost-efficient program! Business transactions Risk Assessment Identify highrisk processes for ongoing testing. Examples: Regulatory compliance IT compliance 3 rd party risk management Anti-corruption controls Contract compliance Revenue processes ICFR Key Controls (operational, financial, compliance) Identification of key control objectives for highrisk processes Data-driven Monitoring Advanced analytics technology to automate controls monitoring, where possible Centralized Testing Ongoing scalable testing Compliance Dashboard Reporting Process supported by enabling technology 13 Centralized testing model brings standardization, scalablity, and efficiency Standardized processes provide consistent quality and efficiency gains over time, leading to a cost advantage for the company Leveraging highly qualified and experienced talent pool with advanced capabilities delivers premium services Stringent, high quality feedback and results facilitates continuous improvement of control processes Risk and Compliance Leaders Business Control Owner Centralized Delivery Model Resources Controls Monitoring and Testing Dashboard Reporting Data Analytics 14 7

8 Using technology tools to enable and drive the sustainability of your program A technology tool to support ongoing monitoring and testing should include the following key elements to provide efficiency and sustainability: Data Hierarchy Control Repository Workflow Reporting & Analytics Incident & Issue Management Incorporates Compliance and Regulatory Requirements sector and industry expertise Automated Workflow Reporting customized based on role Risks Coordination Across Geographies Results Dashboards Establish Control Repository and Related Monitoring/Testing Procedures Test Performance Visualization 15 Effective use of data analytics

9 Data analytics unlocks intelligence around compliance/controls performance How does analytics enhance monitoring and testing programs? Framework for evaluating areas for increased automated testing where feasible, increasing speed, effectiveness, and efficiency of testing Manual testing executed with analytics, improving efficiency, and coverage Mechanism for intelligent sampling/testing Intuitive dashboards enable continuous monitoring and real-time insight using risk factors to slice, dice and visualize data to hone in on meaningful follow up activities 17 Basic example T&E Use of cash for gifts Expense Analytics Description: High level analytics showing the expenses for the organization by org unit expense type.
