Risk Advisory and Corporate Governance
We can assist you in improving your business to achieve better efficiency, effectiveness, control, fraud mitigation and governance.
CGPL has developed an advanced internal audit and risk advisory approach. Our methodology is designed to adapt to your existing processes and provide ideas to augment this when so requested, or apply our own methodology where appropriate. Mitigating risk and managing value We bring you: • Practical advice for cost effective internal control improvements. • Comprehensive and in-depth control documentation and assessment developed from experience in Corporate Governance – internal control review and risk advisory assignments and SarbanesOxley (“SOX”) regulatory compliance projects. The high-performance standards for internal control review, enterprise risk management, and SOX services enable us to adjust to the scale of client needs without either over-review (which unnecessarily increases cost) or under-review (which risks failing to identify critical control concerns).
• An internal audit and risk advisory and management approach based on the established COSO internal control framework and COSO enterprise risk management framework. • The appropriate tools and methods to facilitate productivity and efficiency in service delivery. • An Internal Audit and Risk Advisory practice that subscribes to the professional standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors and the Information Systems Audit and Control Association.
Internal Control & Risk Management Framework CGPL’s internal control framework follows standards established by the Institute of Internal Auditors and the concepts defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission. We have the capability to apply COBIT and other relevant internal control and risk management frameworks where relevant to specific assignments.
