Areas of support
- Organization of control functions (three lines of defense)
- Governance frameworks and committees
- Clarification of roles and responsibilities
- Risk steering and reporting frameworks
How does governance differ from internal control?
Governance defines direction, oversight and accountability for decisions. Internal control turns those priorities into checks within business processes. They work together: a procedure cannot replace clearly assigned responsibility.
