Hide Control Practices  help

  1. Assess control exceptions. Decide which control exceptions must be remediated, in line with the business needs, risk profile and regulatory and compliance requirements. Involve business process owners in the assessment process, where appropriate. Communicate outcomes of the assessment process to the board, senior management, business process owners and IT stakeholders, as appropriate.
  2. Design an approach to prioritise and assign responsibility for all control remedial actions.
  3. Initiate remedial action tasks based on the agreed-upon approach. Ensure proper tracking and reporting of the status of remedial action tasks.
  4. Identify substandard performance in internal control and/or in correcting internal control weaknesses, and specify corrective actions.
  5. Escalate continued substandard performance in internal control and/or in correcting internal control weaknesses to business process owners and IT senior management for further action, where appropriate.
  6. Approve remedial action tasks upon satisfactory completion against prespecified outcomes.
