Risk management is a necessary gauge to ensure a company follows current and relevant regulations, implements effective operations, and protects sensitive information and data. Based on size, a company appoints an individual or teams of individuals to be responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the risk management posture and accompanying internal controls that are placed into the environment. Appointing a risk and internal controls expert(s) is critical to ensuring the company’s control measures are appropriate, sustainable, and effective. This requires a formal mapping exercise to determine if any gaps exist or inconsistencies occur between the matching of the risk to the control so these differences can be quickly addressed and amended.
