Introduction: A background of accounting and auditing mis-governance, that’s hard to ignore: With sheer increase in the number of accounting scams that the industries have witnessed since early 2000, I have had this inner urge to bring this subject for more intensive debate. The last to hit a similar cord, is the recent issue of a whistle-blower, ...

Tax Due Diligence - The first solution isn’t always the right solution

Governments and regulators reacted to the 2008 financial crisis by introducing a raft of regulation for financial services, acquainting professionals with a range of acronyms such as MiFID, PRIIPS, EMIR and FATCA. The aim of much of the regulation: to improve transparency through reporting information to regulators and government authorities to he...

It is time for the Digital Transformation of Corporate Governance?

Within traditional Financial Services there is a common belief that regulation has fundamentally constrained the industry, but at the same time innovation through FinTech has blossomed. The Regulators do not believe regulation is a constraint to good business and have worked closely with FinTech. Something feels out of kilter! Maybe it’s time we f...

How process mining can turbo-charge internal auditing

For years, auditors have used interviews and workshops to conduct successful company assessments. As more businesses become digitised, auditors need to blend traditional techniques with a more data-led approach.

I am not at all surprised at this. It is sub judice even to discuss what the investigation will reveal; yet I will risk my last cent if it is not an ‘inside job’ with the connivance of the POS folks. It was the butler after all. The phrase ’information security’ on google search throws up 874,000,000 results (0.17 seconds) and the phrase ‘key lo...
