Increasing ICS efficiency: centralised control
Optimising the efficiency of the internal control system (ICS) through centralised control
Challenge and approach
In the financial industry, effective internal control systems are essential for adherence to compliance guidelines and ensuring integrity. To achieve this goal, we have brought together our teams from Poland and the UK and formed a global team of experts. This team evaluated the design and implementation of ICS globally and conducted extensive testing to ensure the highest quality standards.
Results
This international cooperation led to a successful seven-year partnership. Our global expertise and technical know-how enabled us to deliver world-class services and significantly increased operational efficiency for our customers.
Mastering resource bottlenecks in the ICS
Coping with resource bottlenecks and lack of expertise in the internal control system (ICS) to meet demanding deadlines
Challenge and approach
We revolutionised the audit process of a SOX-compliant client through a centralised approach. Our specialised team conducted thorough control testing, including IT general controls (ITGC) and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) controls, and completed over 50,000 hours of evaluations efficiently and on time.
Results
With effective cooperation from our teams in Germany, Switzerland and Poland, the project was extended by four years. We exceeded our customers’ expectations, ensured compliance, and provided tailor-made solutions that fostered trust and generated long-term value.
