Internal Control Systems with Jira
Internal Control Systems...
Compliance with laws, regulations and policies demands Internal Control Systems (ICS) from many different perspectives: Financial ICS, Tax-CMS, Privacy Policies, SOX, ISO and many more. What they all have in common is that, based on a risk assessment, they require the implementation of a control environment and proof of its effectiveness. We at ISPICIO have developed an approach over many projects, which relies on the use of the standard software Jira from Atlassian for assuring operational effectiveness and efficiency.
Jira vs. Dedicated Software Solutions
There are numerous of dedicated software solutions for the Management of Internal Control Systems on the market. In most cases, they depict a single use case (e. g. Tax Compliance). And in general they work fine. But they have conceptual disadvantages: Every software must go through the entire procurement process. Both, the administration and the users have to be continuously trained on each system. Furthermore, for each software solution, an authorization concept must be implemented, a change management and backup process must be designed, documented and monitored. And if the software is integrated to other systems, all interfaces must also be implemented, documented and tested with every update.
By using only one software solution, which ideally is already in use in the IT department, the above-mentioned points can be met either not at all or only once.
Why ISPICIO?
In recent years, we have successfully implemented many use cases in the compliance environment for our customers. These include Risk and Control Management (ICS), Identity Management Systems, SOX Management Testing, (Pre-) Compliance Audits and many more. We therefore have a large number of blueprints that only need to be adapted to your needs. This saves you time and money.
