Kevin Aytap – a saga from the real world – what i read and couldn’t believe was real, came true.
Most of us probably read surveys and trends from large consulting firms, storytelling about unbelievable fraud cases and security flaws happening somewhere far away from your own reality. And most of us probably have the experience of trying to use those examples to increase the organizations awareness, when your colleagues politely looks at you wondering if you have read to much fiction books and are too paranoid. How do you take your concern from that point to actually implement internal controls that deter fraudulent activities?

Liselott Hinder and Sofie Grape – GL11 New Guidelines on Internal Governance
New guidelines on internal governance for credit institutions and investment firms are effective as of 30th of June this year. These guidelines emphasize risk management and require that a sound risk culture is implemented. This implies that everyone within a company, from board level to the individual employee, should be able to understand, explain and manage risks inherent in the business model.
When the European Banking Authority (EBA) published the preceding guidelines in 2011, the implementation required an extensive amount of work within the financial industry. The effort required to implement these new guidelines is highly dependent on the general maturity of the organization regarding internal governance.
Our aim is to provide an overview of the new requirements and provide some thoughts around which actions that should be taken and how to prioritize them.
