Process & Control

Improvement

Beyond compliance, we look for ways to make your processes more efficient and effective. Our team conducts deep dives into your workflows – whether finance, treasury, insurance operations, or supply chain – to identify control gaps and efficiency opportunities. We then design solutions to streamline processes, often leveraging automation or data analytics to create tangible value.

WHY IT MATTERS

With increasing regulatory scrutiny (e.g., King IV, Sarbanes-Oxley for multinationals) and complex operational risks, robust assurance is essential. The Shard’s RAAS team provides peace of mind that your organization not only meets compliance requirements, but is running optimally and ethically. By partnering with us for risk assurance, clients often find improved business performance as a natural by-product of better controls and insights.
