Controls Assurance
Organisations depend on information systems to provide complete, accurate and valid data, but these systems may be the source of considerable risk if not well deployed, monitored and controlled. Our Controls Assurance services focus on the identification and mitigation of risks affecting internal systems, business processes, projects, applications, data and third parties.
Implementing checks and balances for projects, work processes, computer applications and the underlying systems and third parties is one way to mitigate risks. We leverage frameworks and standards such as ITIL, CoBIT, ISO27000:2005, in conjunction with Deloitte proprietary tools to identify control weaknesses or gaps, and to make implementable recommendations.
With increased IT corporate governance concerns, security threats, data quality issues and privacy legislation, today, more than ever, organisations need to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information, along with the underlying systems.
Service Auditors Report
At Deloitte we understand that service auditor reporting is an important annual investment for your company – helping you to win new business and improve your internal control environment, while ensuring greater accountability for the quality of services provided to your customers.
Our dedicated professionals are experienced service auditors that conduct engagements following standards such as ISAE 3402 and SSAE 16. This will enable you as a service organisation, to report on the effectiveness of key controls that you perform in your company which may be relevant to your customers’ internal control over financial reporting. We also provide SOC 2 reporting services, which have been developed more specifically for IT service organisations. A SOC 2 report evaluates your information systems with regard to security, availability, processing, integrity, confidentiality or privacy.
We can also assist you in preparing your company for service auditor reporting – this includes providing readiness assessments on the design effectiveness of your key control activities. As our client, we want to ensure that you are best placed to meet the on-going challenge of service auditor reporting.
