Our Services:

Our Consulting Services:

An effective, well-managed IT system is one of the most valuable business advantages

an organization can secure. The right technology, implemented properly, appropriately

managed and monitored, can lead to significant gains in growth and efficiency. It is

essential to ensure technology risks are managed. IT is challenging to get right and

expensive to get wrong — not only in terms of money spent, but also in lost efficiency

and potential regulatory infringements.

RISE’s IT Advisory services help the organizations to ensure of adequate preventative,

detective and corrective controls over IT systems.





IT General controls

ITGCs apply to all systems

components, processes, and data

present in an organization or

systems environment.

The objectives of these controls are

to ensure the appropriate

development and implementation of

applications, as well as the integrity

of program and data files and of

computer operations.

The most common ITGCs are:

• Logical access controls over

infrastructure, applications, and

data.

• System development life cycle controls.

• Program change management controls.

• Physical security controls over the data center.

• System and data backup and recovery controls.

• Computer operation controls.

How we can help?

RISE’s IT General Control services help organizations ensure that adequate IT controls,

are in place and operating effectively.





IT Application controls

Over the last several years, organizations around the world have spent billions of

dollars upgrading or installing new business application systems for different

reasons, ranging from tactical goals, such as year 2000 compliance, to strategic

activities, such as using technology as an enabler of company differentiation in the

marketplace. An application or application system is a type of software that enables

users to perform tasks by employing a computer’s capabilities directly.

Application controls are those controls that pertain to the scope of individual

business processes or application systems, including data edits, separation of

business functions, balancing of processing totals, transaction logging, and error

reporting.

Therefore, the objective of application controls is to ensure that:

• Input data is accurate, complete, authorized, and correct.

• Data is processed as intended in an acceptable time period.

• Data stored is accurate and complete.

• Outputs are accurate and complete.

• A record is maintained to track the process of data from input to storage and to

the eventual output.





Data Analysis

Although internal auditors have been

doing data analysis for more than 25

years, it has only recently started to

become standard practice. By our

nature, most accountants and auditors

are inclined to stick with what has

worked in the past, rather than reach

outside our comfort zones for an

alternative that could help us

accomplish more. What we should be

asking ourselves is, “Could we do

something electronically in 20 minutes

that would normally take us 20 hours,

and possibly improve the quality of our work as a result?”

There are many benefits that may be realized from the use of data analysis, including:

Productivity and cost savings

Data analysis technology has enabled a number of organizations to realize

significant productivity improvements in audit planning, risk assessment, and

increasing the breadth and depth of audit coverage during the engagement.

Ultimately, this has enabled audit departments to broaden the scope of their

assurance activities, without having to increase audit staff. In some circumstances,

automation of analytic steps has lead to cost savings

through the reduction of staff necessary to complete the audit plan.

Efficiency in data access

Data analysis technologies enable auditors to access and query data by themselves,

thereby decreasing their reliance on busy IT personnel having to run data extracts.

This helps provide a higher degree of confidence in the accuracy and completeness

of the data population being analyzed and introduces efficiencies in verifying the

accuracy of that information.

Audit risk

The use of data analysis can significantly reduce audit risk by honing the risk

assessment and stratifying the population.





Security Review

Penetration Tests, Vulnerability Assessments and Security Audits,

External Attackers often make use of

already known vulnerabilities and exploits

in order to infiltrate in systems and

networks and then further extend their

position. This can actually be prevented in

advance, if one, in addition to taking

appropriate defensive measures and

adequate security design, is aware of the

already existing exposed systems and their

risks. If these examinations are carried out

at regular intervals an approved means is

available in order to recognize risks at an

early stage and derive appropriate

measures from here.

How we can help?

RISE’s Penetration Tests, Vulnerability Assessments and Security Audits services help

organizations ensure of the security over their Networks by using automated tools

which is useful for identifying known, standard vulnerabilities, and use manual

techniques to identify the system weaknesses which hackers could potentially use to

gain entry.





Business & System Process Controls

Business & System Process Controls, systems have over the years become the

foundation for many large and medium enterprises all over the world. Regardless of

whether applications are packages such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle or custom built to

meet the specific business requirements. However, designing and implementing

effective controls and security is not often emphasized, leading to inadequate process

controls, high levels of security risk, or other system failures.

How we can help?

RISE’s Business & System Process Controls services help organizations ensure that

adequate systems controls, relating to a major application implementation, are in place

and operating effectively.

Testing GITCs.

Understand the key concepts of applications controls.

opportunities one can configure or design into the application. We will cover the

critical business processes required to ensure that SAP is working as intended

will review the risks and general control opportunities provided by SAP, and

examine the security and basis configuration settings necessary to support a

strong control environment for the rest of the system.

without a map. You may eventually get there, but it will probably take you

longer. We provide directions and short cuts that help you quickly navigate

through learning IDEA.





Our People:

RISE prides itself on the quality of its administrative and academic staff. While

academic credentials and ability are important, we recruit staff primarily for their

passion, professionalism and team spirit.

Our administrative staff is responsible for the behind-the-scenes running of

courses. Since part of our ethos is to challenge delegates to push the boundaries of their

own capabilities, training can be a stressful process, especially when assignments and

exams come around. Their job is to ensure that our delegates experience the best

possible experience while they are on our training courses, and they need to be strict

but fair and caring when doing this.

Our academic staff is very special people indeed. Since our courses are much more

than a series of lectures, and are very practical in nature, our academic staff need to be

able to walk-the-walk, as well as talk-the-talk. They are not only great facilitators and

teachers, but they are able to coach, advice and mentor delegates as they complete their

practical work. Since a key objective of our training approach is to develop delegates

who have the self-confidence and knowledge to apply their skills when they leave us,

they have been carefully coached to 'facilitate learning' rather than 'teach'

The consulting staff in our Professional Services Division is experienced practitioners,

drawn from our academic staff, and practitioners from industry. We do not body-

shop. Instead, all resources are fully accredited in the products and services that they

are consulting in.
