An organisation's control environment should be seen as being among the most important aspects of any successful risk assurance strategy. Companies must develop strong safeguards that limit their exposure to risk, while simultaneously ensuring operational efficiency and delivering confidence to core stakeholders and the public.
Development of an in-depth understanding of the flow of data within your business, individual responsibilities in the management of risk and how your activities align to a wider appetite for risk and your long-term goals is integral to lasting corporate success and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance. PwC can support you in this regard.
