Risk and Internal Audit Services
Are you meeting your governance
responsibilities on Risk?
n Does your organisation have
appropriate processes that
identify and manage potential
and relevant risks?
n Does your organisation
operate rigorous processes for
risk management and internal
control?
n Do you receive regular reports
on the operation of risk
management and internal
control processes?
If you answer NO or DON’T KNOW to
any of these questions then you are not
meeting the requirements of the
New Zealand Corporate Governance
Principles and Guidelines regarding Risk
Management, which were issued by the
Securities Commission and are relevant
to all entities that have economic impact
in New Zealand or are accountable to the
public.
Our approach is not just about performing
compliance reviews, but about embracing
a systematic approach to evaluate and
improve your risk management, control and
governance processes. This process
helps you:
Risk management is a critical area of
responsibility for the board. Risk is an
essential feature of business and each

business or not for profit organisation, is
faced with a range of risks that it needs to
identify and manage.
