Good corporate governance is at the heart of organisational management and the recent events in the financial sector and acts such as the the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the U.S. and the Combined Code in the U.K. have focused Senior management on the importance of ensuring that the organisation is managed in a manner that reflects best practice whilst ensuring that regulatory obligations are met.
This is made more complicated as in the case of organisations that are incorporated in multiple countries often have to satify the regulation in each of those countries. A specfic example of this is with Sarbanes-Oxley which requires that such companies and those who provide professional services to companies, meet a stringent and wide-ranging set of conditions on corporate governance. These cover a broad area, from enhanced and transparent financial disclosures, management assessment of internal controls to corporate responsibility for reporting and ethics.
Symb, in conjunction with industry practitioners have developed Aptius as an advanced business solution designed to provide tools to allow senior management not only to visualise the risks and controls within an organisation, but equally importantly, to allow the senior management within organisations to demonstrate both internally and to the regulators that good corporate govenance is being practiced and that all of the relevant regulation is being adhered to.
