Internal Audit - The Last Year

Number of days on site each quarter is increasing

Internal Audit plans are starting to reflect the key risk areas

Additional areas being included that were previously ignored:

Branch controls

End of day cash balancing 

AML

Merger integration plans 

Member’s draw 

Financial controls in certain areas are still weak and need to be monitored –bank recs, segregation of duties, controls over counter transactions

IA – Key Experiences From TestingTesting

Strategic plans – still not fit for purpose with robust projections

Outsourcing confusion over what should be on register of Outsourcing – confusion over what should be on register of 

outsourcing arrangements 

No clearly documented travel and expenses policy

Risk and compliance – struggling to get embedded

Member Third party access – report generation and monitoring 

Dormant accounts – adequate oversight Dormant accounts – adequate oversight 

Issuing of member statements

IA – Key Experiences From TestingTesting

Credit underwriting – robust policy that is adhered to 

Governance weaknesses:

Board attendance at meetings – average at 75%

Sufficient focus on strategic plan – too operational

Overall compliance with requirements 

Adequate minutes of meetings

Quality of Board Packs Quality of Board Packs

Fraud – bank recs, car draws, other areas

Internal Audit- Conclusion

Internal audit should provide independent internal oversight Internal audit should provide independent internal oversight 

Assists in identifying areas of control weakness

Fraud – becoming a big issue

Look at controls over counter transactions

Ensure regular testing of transactions processed over the counter

Number of days are increasing BUT still more room for improvement Number of days are increasing BUT still more room for improvement

Still some work on key weaknesses to be addressed

RBK are reviewing plans to address the shortcomings

Risk– Year in Review

Outsourcing beginning to increase in popularity:

Outsourced risk – up from 29% to 43% Outsourced risk  up from 29% to 43%

Outsourced compliance – up from 36% to 43%

In house risk and compliance officers are functioning 

better but are still too focused on operational issues 

Risk registers are getting smaller BUT

Still a lot of generic risks out there AND Still a lot of generic risks out there..... AND 

New risks are not identified fast enough

Risk– Year in Review

Risk management software 

Reporting of risk is improving BUT Reporting of risk is improving BUT

Still not seeing a regular report to the board on risk

Greater awareness at Board level about risk

PRISM reviews still note a lack of embeddedness PRISM reviews still note a lack of embeddedness

Risk - Key Experiences from TestingTesting

Risks which should be closed as fully mitigated are not being 

closed for the following reasons:

Policies have not been updated within the 12 month 

timeframe or are missing some of the minimumtimeframe or are missing some of the minimum 

requirements

BCP and penetration testing have identified issues that have 

not been closed

Strategic plan and projections not robust enough

Risk - Conclusion

Risk awareness is better

Risk registers are getting more manageable

Annual effectiveness review should take place to:

Review scoring methodology within the risk register 

Review controls Review controls

Complete a gap analysis

Consider if the top 5 risks are the top 5 risks

Embeddedness – still a work in progress 

Ensure risk is reported monthly to risk committee and board –timing issues to be resolved 

Prepare for new risks such as Data Protection now

Compliance – Year in Review p

Compliance is more black and white

Where the function is outsourced – the compliance plan tends to be Where the function is outsourced  the compliance plan tends to be 

more detailed and the testing conducted on the plans tends to be more 

in‐depthin‐depth

In‐house compliance plans don’t set out the detail of the testing to be 

conducted purpose section and conclusionconducted – purpose, section and conclusion

Compliance function has equal importance as Risk and IA and sufficient 

h ld b ll d iresources should be allocated to it

Compliance breaches identified are low in terms of severity

Compliance - Conclusionp

F i h i ki b bl k d hi Function that is working best – black and white 

Ensure test plans contain the detail of the scope of the testing

Include new regulations – Data Protection, CP109 etc

Agree timelines to close compliance breaches Agree timelines to close compliance breaches

Maintain breach register and escalate breaches where not 

remedied on a timely basis

Ensure compliance function reviews policies for compliance 

with legislative requirements but not compliance officers role

transpose into Irish Law

Existing rules remain the same but there are some new elements

Monitor ongoing compliance Monitor ongoing compliance

Can be an employee but if have other duties these cannot conflict

Central Credit Registerg

The Central Credit Register (CCR) is a mandatory credit reporting 

system 

Credit Unions will have to:

Submit members details re loan applications > €500Submit members details re loan applications > €500

Make an enquiry if loan application is > €2,000

Credit agreements in force on 30 June 2017 are reportable

Will have to link a PPSN number with a loan application

Consider the impact on Data Protection – you will have to inform your 

members

Organising the Regulatory Functions

3 t di ti t l t f ti t b d d d

g g g y

3 separate distinct regulatory functions to be resourced and managed

Plus MLRO

Plus DPO

How should these functions be managed? 

Greater efficiency still needs to be brought to the functions by sharing plans and 

streamlining the timing of testing

Who should do this? 

Review committee structure ‐ combine audit with risk and compliance 

Responsible for External Audit, IA, Risk, Compliance and AML

Ensure comprised of appropriately skilled individuals and the committee is p pp p y

active

Organising the Regulatory Functions

g g g y

Continued move towards outsourcing – brings technical and 

operational experience 

Consider shared services – requires collaboration

Compliance and AML – go hand in hand?

DPO – will probably need to be outsourced – look at shared DPO – will probably need to be outsourced – look at shared 

services
