Risk and Control Review Criteria
While an organisation should specify what should be included in the
periodic risk and control review, InConsult recommends that
the review should include, at a minimum,
the following actions in relation to the organisation units under
the control of the reviewer:
-
Check organisation units
in the library to make sure all details, in particular the email
addresses, are correct.
-
Consider all changes to
the organisation units and the organisation as a whole, including the
environment the organisation operates in, and identify risks that have
not been identified before and add that to the library and attach them
to the appropriate organisation units.
- Review documented
risks to ensure that they are still applicable, current and the risk
levels and values are appropriate.
- Review outstanding action
plans, investigate as to why they are still not implemented and take
the corresponding action.
- Review accepted
residual risks to ensure that they should be accepted and the reason
for acceptance is correctly recorded.
- Review the implemented
controls to
ensure that they are
still in place and effective.
-
Review proposed and
agreed controls and determine if they should be implemented and if so,
why they are not implemented.
- Review
recent audit results
paying particular attention to failed audit items and proposed
resolutions.
- Review incidents and
ensure that proposed treatments
are implemented.
- Add the implemented
controls to the corresponding risks.
- Review the Detail
section of the System Health Check on the Main Menu to ensure all
outstanding items within the control of the reviewer are completed.
Note:
Many reports in the system can be used
to assist the review, for example the Failed Audits, Incident Causes
and Treatment, Residual Risk Listing, Risk and Control Listing
reports. Filters can be set on the various reports to pin-point
areas requiring attention, for example, the Risk and Control Listing
report with Control Status set to Agreed will list all agreed
controls which can be used with action item 7 above.
