Audit Committees and Boards are placing greater emphasis on understanding where assurance is being delivered across their organisations, and where gaps may exist. Assurance mapping is emerging as a powerful tool to provide visibility over the assurance landscape, strengthen governance, and support effective decision-making. This panel session will bring together experienced practitioners to share practical applications and lessons learned from implementing assurance mapping. Through discussion, participants will gain a deeper appreciation of how assurance maps can be used not only to meet Audit Committee expectations, but also to provide senior management with a strategic view of risk coverage and organisational resilience.
Key Discussion Points:
-
Linkages between controls and risks - How assurance mapping provides clarity on whether key organisational risks are effectively managed by corresponding controls, and how overlapping or missing controls can be identified
-
Identifying assurance gaps and overlaps - Practical examples of how assurance mapping highlights where limited assurance exists, or where multiple assurance providers are duplicating effort, and how this insight can guide more efficient allocation of resources
-
A tool for leadership communication - How assurance maps serve as a visual and strategic communication device for Audit Committees, Boards, and executives—enabling better-informed decisions and reinforcing confidence in risk management frameworks
This will be a facilitated discussion with a panel of subject matter experts from BellchambersBarrett.
