ABSTRACT

In this example, integrated assurance is implemented across the organisation at Level 3, with particular focus on the key control functions working collaboratively. This global financial services organisation, with locations in some 18 countries, was established over 150 years ago. The board’s commitment to maintaining high standards of corporate governance is necessary as the organisation continues to strengthen its international presence. It is unsurprising that the current approach to integrated assurance within this organisation is a product of continual development and improvement over the past 10 to 15 years.
