TORRE



From the publisher website or publicity

Companies are under pressure throughout the world to ensure that their businesses are well controlled so that stakeholders’ interests are safeguarded as much as possible. Audit committees and ethic committees review different aspects of companies’ operations from a semi-independent, or at least objective standpoint. What they tend to lack is a tool that reports to them and to management on the risks facing the business and also the controls that are in place to mitigate those risks. TORRE provides management with the confidence that they are managing the risks, exploiting them where they can, and mitigating them where they need to. UK companies have to state that they have reviewed the controls over their business, that they have done so from a risk management perspective and they have also covered off areas which should not normally result in unforeseen losses but which have the capacity to, eg payroll, accounts payable and other areas that may not come up in an enterprise level risk assessment.
