Dinner Meeting Topic:
‘Insights from the 2017 KPMG Internal Audit Survey’
|
Competing in a rapidly changing world, companies must grapple with emerging challenges seemingly every day: new regulatory requirements, changing accounting standards, third-party relationship risk, and more. All of these challenges bring both risks and opportunities. Identifying the fine line between the two factors is critical. Although Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) is not a new regulation, it has continued to evolve over the last 15 years since it was enacted. Additional focus areas from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) have increased the levels of documentation, and upcoming changes in key accounting standards may require further changes to systems, controls and documentation. Additionally, the uses of technology and data have changed significantly in this time frame – bringing about new considerations such as using intelligent automation to facilitate business processes or compliance activities. And all of this is happening while organizations strive to take costs out of their SOX programs, while finding opportunities to challenge the status quo to reduce risk, improve controls, and identify potential efficiencies and cost benefits across the organization. To help achieve these goals, we present KPMG Internal Controls Survey, providing an overview of current SOX trends, challenges and strategies compiled from surveying over 100 organization.
