I had a pleasure to be a speaker on SSON conference (Budapest, 9-11 October, 2017). That
was a great event, with enormous number of presentations and discussion. What I wanted to
share with others was my experience from organizing a shared function around
Internal Control and Compliance.
This is still a very niche topic, and many managers from SSC
/ GBS prefer to keep it in HQ. I totally agree with approach that – due to its
strategic importance – Internal Control & Compliance needs its stable and
direct link to “top” of the organization.
Nothing stops us from making it customer-oriented, efficient, integrated, collaborative,
technology-driven, though. Internal Control and Compliance is a great “product”
to be shared as a function, act as-a-service and bring value in terms of standardization
to the wider business.
Our mantra should be: as
global as possible and as local as necessary.
