Fortifying your defenses
The role of internal audit in assuring data security and privacy

CEOs/Boards are no longer ignoring Information and Technology (I&T) Risks
I&T Risk is an enterprise-wide issue. Specific types of risks organizations are facing include: Connected IT infrastructure exists in an environment that is increasingly under threat against unauthorized access or disclosure of sensitive data and attacks originating from cyber-criminal groups and hackers. Increase in Privacy and Security regulatory mandates in recent years, as well as expected changes in upcoming years. Boards are no longer willing to accept the risk that technology can pose to the business. Growing demand by business leaders to understand how security integrates with privacy (“what” data is sensitive to the business) and security (“how” they protect the data deemed sensitive). Increase in threats and vulnerabilities to sensitive data and corporate assets. Businesses continue to struggle to maintain accountability to their stakeholders and establish effective strategies and standards for security risk management and privacy control activities.

Change and Complexity is Right Around the Corner
Security and Privacy Hot Topics: Balancing Business Enablers vs Business Risks Privacy and Data Loss Prevention Organizations looking to improve privacy management in the event of a breach have to continually plan and prepare. Mobility and Social Media Mobile platforms, social media, and accelerated product life cycles are just the latest contributors to risk of an enterprise. Regulatory Compliance Organizations in all industries are under increased scrutiny by regulatory governance bodies. Technical threats and vulnerabilities Companies need to stay informed about the constantly changing threat environment, processes to identify potential vulnerabilities, and processes to resolve potential exposures. Third Parties and Cloud Computing While risks associated with third parties and cloud computing continue to increase, many companies are less prepared to defend their data. Cyber Crime The cyber threat landscape continues to yield an increasingly sophisticated underworld of criminals. Companies need to remain prepared for such cyber crises.

Stakeholders want focus in all critical risk areas Risk areas in which stakeholders and CAEs want/plan to add IA capabilities There is a continued desire to add resources in critical risk areas. Virtually no one wants IA to reduce resources in any of these areas. Good alignment. Interesting that data security and privacy continues to be an area where resources will be added. Although an area of significant focus in recent years, there still appears to be a need or desire to add resources. Perhaps it’s because of the complexity or the pace of change in this area but we also see a danger here of misallocating resources.

Acting today to protect data: The critical role of internal audit
What the audit committee should expect of internal audit Strengthen the Annual Risk Assessment to be relevant In the risk assessment report that it presents to the audit committee, internal audit should highlight the organization’s significant data security and privacy risks, including any new risks. Further, it should identify weaknesses in policies and controls. 1 Having the right people Because the nature of information security risks is evolving continuously, internal audit functions need to stay ahead of the threat curve. stay plugged in to emerging security threats, and practices for protecting against them. 2 Given that data security and privacy breaches can cost a company dearly in financial losses and market reputation, the firm’s board of directors will want to stay on top of these risks. Keeping the audit committee apprised of emerging risks and effective ways to address them is a key role of internal audit. Stay vigilant on key or triggering events Internal audit’s role in ensuring that information security threats are properly considered becomes especially important when a company is ready to roll out a new business process, product or information system. Internal Audit must also keep its ear to the ground and move quickly to conduct special audits for new information security threats, which some executives consider as important as regularly scheduled audits 3

Overcoming the barriers to internal audit playing an effective role
Effective data privacy and security measures are not easy to effect. In fact, we commonly find four barriers in organizations that try to adopt them. A mindset that believes adequate controls are already in place. 1 Exposures are changing constantly, policies and controls need to change alongside them. Cost. Achieving and maintaining effective information security can cost significant money and effort. 2 Implement cost/benefit analysis in risk assessment to assesses potential damage of various types of security breach. Low expectations. Internal Audit not viewed as capable of assessing complex security and privacy topics. 3 Hiring & training staff to be top of their game in this arena and/or outsourcing as needed to experts that have technical skills Fragmented responsibilities. The job of maintaining effective information security controls is often split among many stakeholders Establish responsibility and accountability. Define and assign a single point of responsibility for information security. 4

Benefits of Data Analytics

Benefits of Analyzing Data
Data Analytics can help in many aspects of business process testing Assist in root cause analysis Test Validity and accuracy of reports Target and assess specific risk areas Identify control weakness / effectiveness gaps Overall more effective control testing services for our clients More efficient and effective manual testing Data analysis improves the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of audits Performs 100% recalculations and verification of transactions in a timely and repeatable fashion Compares data from multiple / disparate systems Provides business insights and identifies process improvement opportunities Presents quantifiable results from analysis based on complete population

Benefits of Analyzing Data
Approach Benefit Profiling and trending Focus on specific areas of risk or interest Provide insights into transactional history and behavior Test internal controls effectiveness Identify hidden relationships between people, organizations and events Customized transactional analysis Geared towards a clients specific business process Reduction in manual testing procedures Perform proactive instead of reactive audits Identify potentially improper or fraudulent transactions Statistical Sample selection and evaluation More efficient and accurate selection procedures Reduces time spent on selections of little or no interest Analyze the full population of transactions instead of a traditional sampling approach Focus on risk! Report re-performance and metric recalculation Validate operational reporting systems and assist in the documentation of current reporting process Reduce manual testing procedures NOTES The IIA Exposure Draft says that technology improves management’s ability to detect fraud. While many internal audit departments use data analysis in their audits, few use it to its full potential and could benefit by learning additional techniques. We will take a few minutes to discuss each of these. First, integrating data analytics into the internal audit approach allows the internal auditor to analyze all the transactions. You are able to run tests on the full population instead of examining a small sample. This makes it more likely that you will detect anomalies and allows you to focus your time and attention on understanding the transactions that are higher risk. For example, instead of selecting 20 entries posted by the fixed asset accountant that are likely to be monthly depreciation expense, you might identify that the CFO posted one large entry at month-end that credit depreciation expense. Isn’t that entry more important to look at? Second, let’s consider hidden relationships between people, organizations and events. When we say people, we mean employees of the company in the same or different departments, various levels of management, or in different locations. We also mean relationships between employees of the company and employees of customers, vendors, government agencies and others. Relationships between organizations include joint ventures, guarantors/guarantees, lenders/borrowers, vendors/customers, etc. Events refer to the sequence of events. For example, is a large cash withdrawal followed by a face to face meeting between a procurement officer and a vendor? Does a payables clerk buy a large new house after a round of layoffs that resulted in her getting additional system access rights? Third, data analysis can help you identify potentially improper transactions. Data analysis can result in a large number of false positives. One useful way of identifying the transactions that are most likely to be fraudulent is to run tests that look at the data in different ways and then combine the results. For example, if you were testing for ghost employees, you might run tests that look for employees with no social security number, no withholdings for 401k or medical benefits, salaried employees in departments that typically have hourly employees, multiple employees with bank accounts in common, etc. While the test for no withholdings is likely to have results, if employees identified on that test also lack social security numbers and have bank accounts in common with other employees, you should focus your attention on these employees because they are more likely to really be ghost employees. Fourth, data analysis can help you assess internal controls. They are very useful for reviewing segregation of duties. For example, you could look for people whose access rights allow them to both create and post a journal entry. Or people who have administrator rights but really should not. Later in this course you will learn how to run these tests. You would take the results of the segregation of duties tests to understand what these employees were able to do in the system. The next step would be to find out whether they used the inappropriate rights to perpetrate any fraud. Finally, data analysis can help an internal audit department perform proactive audits. The longer a fraud is perpetrated before it is detected, the larger it is likely to become. Thus, identifying fraud in its infancy can save a company a lot of money. When an internal audit department uses data analysis to look for red flags of fraud, it increases its effectiveness. A best practice is to use continuous monitoring techniques to look for potential errors and fraud. This is impossible to do well without effective automated procedures, especially in a large company. Of course, the internal audit department needs to plan to follow-up on red flags and be willing to allocate appropriate resources.

Type of Data Analysis

Computer Aided Audit Ad-Hoc Query: One time based specific analytic query or analysis at a point of time. No intention of repetitive testing Explorative and investigative Repetitive: Periodic analysis of processes from multiple data resources Periodical Seek to improve the efficiency , consistency, and quality of audits Ad-hoc Query Example: One time query on journal entry posted by a suspicious user One time query to search for suspicious vendors base on certain criteria Repetitive Example: Revenue recalculation Duplicate journal entry identification Journal entries posted by unauthorized users 23

Continuous Audit Definition: The independent application of automated tools to provide assurance on financial, compliance, strategic and operational data within a company. Nature: Automated Continuous basis – Specified intervals Constantly search for errors, fraud and inefficiencies Advanced analytic tool involved: SAS and ACL 3) Example: Automated A/P review Automated J/E review Operational process review Analysis of the data may be performed hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc. depending on the need. Continuous auditing is often confused with computer-aided auditing. The purpose and scope of the two techniques, however, are quite different. Computer-aided auditing employs end user technology including spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel, to allow traditional auditors to run audit-specific analyses as they conduct the periodic audit. Continuous auditing, on the other hand, involves advanced analytical tools that automate a majority of the auditing plan. Where auditors manually extract data and run their own analyses in computer-aided auditing during the course of their traditional audit, high-powered servers automatically extract and analyze data at specified intervals as a part of continuous auditing. Internal Focus: To assure the integrity of transactions. Ex. A/P analysis. Claims denials audit. 2) External Disclosure Increased frequency on disclosure will drive the nature of the audit process. Ex. Journal Entry Analysis 3) Law and Regulations: To ensure compliance to the law and regulations. Ex. Medicare fraud audit. Preventive Care Audit. 4) Technology related: Data integrity and quality assurance. 24

What are Companies Doing?
25% have CA programs in 2009, compared to 11% in 2006 * Benefits listed by survey participants : Auditors are aware of issues as they occur 100 percent of the population rather than a sample is evaluated Allow to create preventive controls for process owners 3) Challenges listed by survey participants: Implementation takes long Auditors need to have detailed knowledge of the underlying data structures to use the tool correctly Auditors and business owners have to the determine parameters used in the CA program Note: Statistic is based on IIA survey Analysis of the data may be performed hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc. depending on the need.

Case Study 1 – SAS Medical Claims Denials Analytics
Note: Numbers or findings have no meaning beyond being placeholders for the given example

Steps Audit Planning Data Readiness Data Analysis Risk based Sampling
Substantive Testing Communication of Results 27

Audit Planning Establish Testing Period: Jan to June of 2012
Determine Scope: all medical claims denied from Jan to June of 2012 Determine Frequency: quarterly 4) Define Audit Objective: Ensure claims were appropriately denied as per provider contract, member benefit and regulation 5) Select Audit Methodology: Perform data analysis to identify high risk denial areas Perform risk based sampling and substantive testing 6) Know your Deliverables: An excel based deck to present data analysis results An audit report to communicate findings of substantive testing 28

Data Readiness Request Data:
Pull data directly from corporate data marts Work with IT to extract relative data Data Reconciliation Control total Key fields (numeric fields) tie-out Data Quality Test Duplicate records Missing values of key fields Invalid value of key fields. For example, billed date of 01/32/2012; negative co-pay/deductable amount 29

Data Analysis Steps Research the relative areas of high risks by partnering with business owners Measurement of compliance risk: system days per claim Measurement of operational risk: locations per claim denial ratio at provider level Measurement of financial risk: billed amount /claim Design the profiling tests in relation to specific risks Determine the list of tests Map test to risk(s) Develop testing routines in SAS Review the data analysis results with business owners 30

Data Analysis – Profiling Tests
Population overview Trend analysis of denial rate Trend analysis of system date Dollar stratification Location count stratification Profiling of providers (hospitals) Profiling of explanation of benefit (EOB) codes 31

Data Analysis - RPM 32

Population Overview The average billed amount for denied claims is significant higher than paid claims Denied claims take longer to process compared to paid claim Denied claims go through more locations to complete 33

Trend Analysis – Denial Rate
Facility (hospital) denial rate is significantly higher compared to overall average Denial rate in May 2012 is high driven by the higher denial rate of facility claims 34

Trend Analysis – System Day
Manual claims take longer by the processing system to reject or pay. Correlation exists between denial rate and manual system days in May May population is worth to look into 35

Stratification Dollar Stratification Stratification on location
Yellow strata subjects to risk based sampling while purple might need drill down Auditors may design strata according to relative limit approval controls 36

Profiling on Hospitals
The denial rate for top providers is significantly high compared the average (20%) Provider #2 has a high denial rate in May Hospitals #1, #2 and #5 are trending up on denial rate 37

Profiling on Explanation of Benefit
11% blank EOB is noted This break-out can be compared against the industry benchmark to analyze the space of improvement 38

Profiling and Sampling Process Flow

Risk Based Sampling - Selections
Risk score is calculated for each claim Total risk score is the sum of risk weight for each failed / hit profiling tests Samples were selected from the claims with higher risk scores Auditors professional judgment plays an important role on finalizing samples Average number of risks tested per sample is 5.56 40

Communication of Findings
During the data analysis, Internal Audit noted that 11% denied claims do not have explanation of benefit (EOB) codes. This was a result of an incorrect field mapping between the claims processing system and Claims data mart. Finding 2: During the data analysis and the subsequent detail testing, Internal Audit noted that the denial rate for hospital #2 in May is significant higher than other periods and other hospitals. This was a result of an insufficient communication on the changed provider contracts. Benefit Increase testing coverage – full population review Increase testing frequency Establish an ongoing reusable automated testing routines Decrease samples size - More effective and efficient manual testing on selections Detect control deficiencies and fraud “red flags” timely Track and escalate exceptions for rapid remediation Target to high risk areas Add value to the business 41

Agenda Purpose and Scope Roles and Responsibilities Project Snapshot
Final Assessment

Purpose and Scope Account Payable FCPA Expenses
Internal Audit engaged Deloitte to help proof of concept Account Payable FCPA Expenses Deloitte understands that the Company’s objectives for this engagement are: Assist with developing ACL scripts, to serve as queries for use by limited members of various business units, as part of routine management oversight. Obtain results of profiling analytics specifically on procurement and expense data provided by the Company. Execute sample profiling scripts, as a test case, to assist with FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Privacy Act) related controls. Assess the applicability of scripts executed, and determination of additional scripts to be considered for future development in the Procurement Cycle.

Social Media Includes Wikis, Social Networks, Blogs, Presence & Microblogging, Online Sharing of Videos & Media, and Social Bookmarking & Tagging. 69

Social Media Defined Social media is an umbrella term for a host of sites and technology that facilitate social interaction, sharing, and creation of user-generated content, and aggregation of users’ opinions and recommendations. Common forms of social media Social media Description Popular examples Wikis A page or site designed to enable collaborative contribution and modification of content by users Blogs Short for web log; frequent online publications with commentary on current events, subjects, or one’s personal thoughts Social networking Site focused on building online communities, establishing connections, and providing avenues for social interaction Presence and Microblogging Brief real-time updates of personal commentary, news, or status (aka “Tweets”) Online photo and video sharing Media-centric online communities that facilitate the viewing, sharing, and “tagging,” or classification, of media content Online forums and/review sites Websites/Tools that allow users to search for peer reviews or advice on a product or service, as well as to contribute their own ratings and comments 7070

Social media benefits Social media challenges
1 1 Generate Prospects and Leads (Sales) Decrease time to market for new products Increase marketing effectiveness Develop new revenue opportunities Leverage “interest” based marketing & advertising Loss of Control The voice of the customer is amplified Companies no longer control the message or topic Messages might include negative publicity 2 2 Decrease Costs Decrease R&D costs for new products by listening to your customers (and prospects) Focus on inexpensive social media tools instead of using the traditional expensive marketing channels Decrease customer support costs Inconsistent message When engaging several employees in the social media world, their messages and responses may not always be consistent and aligned with the strategy of the company 3 3 Increase Loyalty Increase customer insights and intelligence (“Voice of Customer”) Improve customer experience responsiveness Improve customer education, expertise and service Direct contact with the customer instead of indirect through the retail channels Confidential Information The use of social media sites enables users to circumvent company controls, opening up the potential to violate communication policies Education and training for employees is a key component to managing loss of information 4 4 Manage Brand Reputation Increase brand awareness through social media Protect brand and manage reputation Benefit from spontaneous reactions from the community by connecting like-minded peers Productivity loss Social media drives collaboration among co-workers but can also be a major distraction in the work place

Use of personal accounts to communicate work-related information Employee posting of pictures or information that link them to the enterprise Excessive employee use of social media in the workplace Employee access to social media via enterprise-supplied mobile devices 76

Social media governance and risk management

Social Media Governance and Risk Management
Strategy: Review the social media strategy, program goals, and organization model and assess whether these have been formalized and communicated to all relevant teams. Evaluate the alignment of the strategy with company goals. Policy: Review the social media policy and confirm that elements related to disclosure, ethics, community and privacy are included. Identify gaps and test awareness of the policy. Roadmap: Assess the adequacy of the social media roadmap, including whether it is global, or localized and whether short-term and long-term program milestones have been defined. Team Structure: Assess whether the roles of key owners and stakeholders in the social media program have been defined and clearly communicated (e.g. executive sponsorship, communications / PR, employees, Legal, IT, etc).

Preparedness and Response
Customer Profiles and Market Analyses: Review customer profile and market analyses and evaluate whether all products are covered, the appropriate target customers have been identified, including the desired relationship and engagement model. Tools and Analytics: Understand how customer interactions via social media are integrated with existing systems and databases. Assess whether formal alerting tools have been implemented to identify key topics, comments, commentators, and sentiment from website activity. Evaluate KPIs and metrics against best practices and alignment of metrics with the social media strategy. Processes: Test the policies and procedures that have been implemented to ensure that messaging is consistent with the social media strategy / plan Review and test policies, processes and procedures used for triage, crisis response, intake and response to customer insights. Understand how customer insights are monitored, tracked, and shared with relevant teams (product marketing, R&D, Support, etc) for resolution.

Training and Education / Compliance
Evaluate the types of training programs implemented to share best practices and rules of the road within the social media team Understand how social media best practices are shared cross functionally with other functions in the organization, such as recruiting, sales, product, etc. Monitoring and Compliance: Understand whether compliance with the social media policy is monitored both internally and externally Perform procedures to test compliance with the social media policy internally and externally

Agenda What is Fraud and Why is it an Important Concern?
The Profile of a Fraudster Fraud Risk Assessment, Schemes and Red Flags Responding to Indicators of Fraud

What is Fraud and Why is it an Important Concern?

What is Fraud? As defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors:
“Any illegal acts characterized by deceit, concealment or violation of trust. These acts are not dependent upon the application of threat of violence or of physical force. Frauds are perpetrated by parties and organizations to obtain money, property or services; to avoid payment or loss of services; or to secure personal or business advantage.”

Types of Fraud Internal: illegal acts of employees, managers and executives against the company External: illegal acts of outsiders (non-employees) against a company The activity: Is clandestine Violates the perpetrator’s fiduciary duties to the victim organization Is committed for the purpose of direct or indirect financial benefit to the perpetrator Costs the employing organization assets, revenue or reserves

Occupational Frauds by Category - Frequency
• Asset misappropriation schemes, in which an employee steals or misuses the organization’s resources (e.g., theft of company cash, false billing schemes or inflated expense reports) • Corruption schemes, in which an employee misuses his or her influence in a business transaction in a way that violates his or her duty to the employer in order to gain a direct or indirect benefit (e.g., schemes involving bribery or conflicts of interest) • Financial statement fraud schemes, in which an employee intentionally causes a misstatement or omission of material information in the organization’s financial reports (e.g., recording fictitious revenues, understating reported expenses or artificially inflating reported assets) Source: ACFE 2012 Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse.

Responding to Indicators of Fraud

Internal Auditor Proficiency Standard
Internal auditors must have sufficient knowledge to evaluate the risk of fraud and the manner in which it is managed by the organization, but are not expected to have the expertise of a person whose primary responsibility is detecting and investigating fraud. Source: The Institute of Internal Auditors International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (

When Does an Internal Audit Become a Fraud Investigation?
Expand sample, expand scope, or perform additional procedures. Look for additional instances or patterns. Ask additional questions framed in the context of the internal audit (e.g., how could a situation like this occur?). Maintain copies of documents and data files that support the red flags and symptoms of fraud. When possible, maintain originals of documents. Any indication of potential perpetrators? Cease audit work if there appears to be a predication for suspecting fraud.

Forensic Accounting vs. Financial Audit
Forensic Investigation Audit Mindset All cases may end in litigation Professional Skepticism Frequency Non-recurring; random Recurring; scheduled Approach No management planning session Limited notification Meet with management to plan and scope the audit Relationship Potentially adversarial Professional skepticism Scope Document examination of particular issue; Review of outside data, interviews of potential persons of interest. Analysis of financial statements and/or other financial data; Interviews with management. Work Programs Programs developed and amended as needed Audit programs “Employer” Client’s Attorney, In-House Counsel, Special Committee Audit Committee/Client Management Objective Identify responsible parties; Quantify damages Issue an opinion on the client’s financial statements and related disclosures Report Audience Report is presented to counsel Opinions used by Board of Directors/Audit Committee/Shareholders/Public

Benefits of a Fraud Response Plan
Standardized response. Consistent approach. Clarified roles and responsibilities. Internal and external reporting responsibilities. Process for consensus and agreement.

Top Ten Emerging IT Audit Issues
2:10 – 3:00pm Michael Juergens Deloitte & Touche LLP

Overview IT controls continue to increase in importance to organizations Corporate reliance on technology increases Compliance requirements increase Deficiencies in IT controls can have a significant impact on the organization

IT Audits Where We Need To Be Where We Have Been

Top 10 IT audit issues By no means a comprehensive list
Will vary by environment May be greater/lesser risk depending on industry, technology, business processes etc. This list is based on what we see in the marketplace Designed to get you thinking about your environments and if currently scheduled IT audit procedures will evaluate these risks List is in no particular order

1. Omnichannel Commerce Issue
Traditional “bricks and mortar” channels are merging with e-commerce channels to create a single integrated approach to sales. Risk Failure to evolve could impact long term enterprise viability Will change sales approach and systems Large integration and master data concerns Recommendation Understand current and planned changes to sales channels. Determine impact on systems, specific transactions processed, accounts impacted, and master data. Evaluate risk and then plan and execute audit procedures accordingly.

2. Cyber Security Reporting
Issue As of October 2011, the SEC now requires public companies to disclose the risk of cyber incidents as part of Management’s Discussion and Analysis if "these issues are among the most significant factors that make an investment in the company speculative or risky." Risk Failure to comply with SEC reporting requirements Exposure to potential shareholder litigation if requirement not met Audit Committee exposure Recommendation Challenge is that the reporting requirement lacks specificity. Organizations must determine what to report, if anything. Therefore, organizations must have a process for identifying exposures, evaluating impact, and then reporting and disclosing appropriately. IT audit should perform an assessment of this process to determine if it exists, and how comprehensive it is. Additional steps should be taken to evaluate how effective the process is.

3. Software Asset Management
Issue Software licensing contracts are complicated, and software lifecycles are complex. Economic downturn has caused software vendors to aggressively pursue licensing audits. Risk Potential significant financial liabilities in case of an audit Loss of potential savings Failure to “sunset” unused applications Recommendation Perform a software asset management (SAM) audit. Consider use of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Information Technology Information Library (ITIL) SAM standards. Audit should include evaluating the process for SAM, review of contracts and software license baselines, and analysis of non-essential software and patch deployment.

4. Payment Processing Issue
Emerging methods of payment processing (ISIS, GoogleWallet, PayPal). Risk Failure to adopt impacts potential revenue Impact on revenue cycle processes, systems and controls Recommendation Determine what changes are planned or underway to adopting new payment processing technologies. Determine impact on financial systems and processes (e.g. sales audit). Evaluate integration management. Identify new security and controls considerations and execute audit steps accordingly.

5. Hyper-Hybrid Cloud Issue
Adoption of heterogeneous cloud solutions creates significant issues with management and integration of processes and data, as well as leads to the need for deployment of additional management solutions. Risk Master data proliferation and management Disparate cloud solutions impact business processes Security management becomes much more complex e.g. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID Need for effective service lifecycle management increases Recommendation Understand current and planned cloud services grid, and specific business control points, integration and workflow. Understand security management strategy, and deployment of new technologies/standards. Determine process and data risk and identify/test controls. Evaluate Service Organization Control (SOC) reports for vendors.

6. Data Lifecycle Management (DLM)
Issue 2011 saw the emergence of new regulations and legislation for records management and data retention. Regulators have significantly increased their scrutiny of the data lifecycle space. Risk Large potential financial penalties for non-compliance Impact on brand Impact on customers and vendors Recommendation Gain an understanding of how DLM is operationalized throughout the organization, DLM awareness levels and how DLM compliance is achieved. Evaluate the organization’s DLM capability maturity and identify compliance gaps related to the DLM governance structure, policies, processes and procedures

7. End User Computing (EUC)
Issue Significant increase in evaluation of spreadsheets and other end user computing solutions by auditors and regulators. Additional regulations promulgated (e.g. Solvency II). Uncontrolled EUCs still impacting financial statements and business operations. Risk Loss of critical data Potentially inaccurate financial or management reporting Exposure to regulatory sanctions or fines Recommendation Perform an extensive EUC audit. Evaluate criteria such as criticality determination, governance model, and use of technical accelerators. Audits should also evaluate programming structure. A policy-based audit and/or access based audit is likely insufficient.

8. IT Governance Issue IT Governance continues to play a large role in aligning the proliferation and use of technology with organizational objectives. Also, Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Standard 2210.A2 states: “The internal audit activity must assess whether the information technology governance of the organization sustains and supports the organization’s strategies and objectives. Risk Noncompliance with IIA standards Potential misalignment of IT resources with organization strategy Recommendation Assess capabilities across IT governance capabilities: Strategic Alignment, Risk Management, Value Delivery, Performance Management and Resource Management. Establish a baseline of understanding regarding current capabilities and maturity level of IT governance processes.

9. Digital Identity Issue
Deployment of emerging technologies and unification of internal/external systems creates significant identity sprawl, and difficulties managing across platforms, applications and networks. To be efficient and compliant, federated identities are emerging. Our IT access audits and analysis are becoming more reliant on review-based controls. Risk Unauthorized access to data or transactions Regulatory fines or litigation Brand impact Recommendation Understand corporate security perspective on identity management. Inventory systems, devices and technologies currently deployed or planned (consider external sources as well). Evaluate strategy and technical solutions for managing digital identity. Perform a detailed audit of critical technologies and controls.

10. Product Duplication Issue
Proliferation of cheap 3D printing technology makes it possible to easily duplicate certain consumer products Risk Loss of sales, market share Impact on brand Recommendation Understand current product mix; identify products susceptible to duplication (small, higher value items are typical). Understand security and controls around schematics. Peruse pirate sites to identify proliferation of schematics. Consult with loss prevention teams to understand approach to managing remote duplication.

Summary Need to understand which items may be relevant in your business and technical environment Ensure that risk assessment and audit universe address relevant items Don’t walk the plank alone – communicate with management and the audit committee Plan resource requirements Be careful not to underestimate

Personality Analysis – Intro to DISC
Key to effective communication is to understand the style or method of communication desired by the auditee The auditee’s behavior style is key! Ineffective communication typically results when an auditor communicates in THEIR style vs. the AUDITEES desired style

DISC Profile The DISC profile is a simple tool to understand your behavior style and how to best work with others (e.g. SPOUSE!) No behavior style is right/wrong – the key is to understand how to communicate effectively with others

Steps to filling out the DISC Profile
Select a word that MOST describes you and a word that LEAST describes you Put an M/L next to the word – DO NOT put a big “X” for example in the MOST/LEAST column Use a coin to gently rub the rectangle after the word in the MOST/LEAST columns Tally up the results in the tally box on page 5 Fill out graphs I, II, and III

Understanding the DISC Profile
Each style has its strengths, weaknesses, and needs – a weakness is an “overextension” of a style’s strength There are typically key success factors in communicating to different styles Understanding how to “match styles” is important – “evolve” if necessary Good questions to ask different styles Note: refer to handouts which overviews these four areas

DISC Discussion Points
How do you communicate if you are presenting to two different styles (e.g. D & C) Do not assume that all executives are “D’s” and all auditors are “C’s” How can you assess a person’s behavior style by looking at their office (or other factors) What have you learnt about yourself? Key potential next steps

Building Trust Friendliness/Rapport Flow of Conversation – Comfort
Warmth Connection Assertiveness Flow of Conversation – Comfort Professionalism and preparedness Reassurance/Implications

Getting The Truth Fear of the consequences
Focus on what you need to know Professional reassurance – rationalism, unbiased How to know if you are always getting the truth? Sweaty palms? Hesitation? Avoidance of eye contact?

Lies Tough to tell the difference between lies and an honest person under stress Indicators of lying: Level of detail being provided Tone of voice, unusual body language Inconsistency when changing viewpoints Concealment of anger, distress or fear Lifting just the inner part of the eyebrow (Distress>85%) Eyebrows raised and pulled together (Fear) Narrowed, tightened lips or lopsided smile (Anger) No absolute clues to lying, only indicators.

Navigating Politics Is it always possible?
Internal and external politics affecting the meeting Pressures in the room. Possibility of one on one time? Ask questions again when necessary to each individual
