  9. Case Study:Report to GACC

  10. Case Study - Some Questions • Why “Agris”? Why not “Agris”? • Necessary to audit all the functional / risk areas? • Is our conclusion correct? Are the causes and effects well communicated, agreed and understood? • Did the control profile change since last audit? • What is the value at a strategic management level? • How does the control risk compare relative to other areas? Is the control risk financed? • Are all risk types analysed, managed and financed? • What should be reported to GACC? And to GRC? And how? • How do we measure IA value contribution?
