Why are audits of management systems critical for addressing risk?
One of the greatest sources of risks lies within internal control systems. Management establishes policies and procedures and then implements them. However, over time, changing regulations, work practices and people gradually erode the level of compliance to policies and procedures, and if control systems are not regularly monitored, the organisation becomes increasingly exposed and vulnerable to unexpected and unanticipated events.
