We went to Ernst & Young because of their clear leadership in internal audit - coupled with the fact that this was an important decision for us. It was a bit like the 80s when you went to IBM for your computer and Xerox for your photocopier. Global Audit Director, UK listed bank
One of my clients is a large European insurance group developing exponentially in Asia. We helped them to tailor their internal audit program, by applying Group-wide standards, to the risks faced locally and delivered efficiently in a co-sourcing arrangement. As a former head of an internal audit department for a large insurer, I know how difficult it can be to execute the audit plan. Adding value to internal audit through practical and pertinent recommendations is paramount. I apply the Ernst & Young methodology and tailor it precisely to my clients business products and systems.

What can be a better reference than one that comes from within a clients own organization? We worked with the compliance team of a very large multi-national financial institution helping them review their internal controls over certain processes. They were so impressed with the quality of the work we delivered and with our people who performed above the normal call of duty, that they continue to call us and refer our team to other departments in their company whenever they need assistance not only for area of internal controls but also other business needs where our team and Ernst & Young are able to assist.

Ernst & Young ranked 1st in the Operational Risk & Regulation Consultancy Ranking in 2010 & 2011.
Source: The Operational Risk & Regulation consultancy rankings are based on a poll of OR&R readers conducted in December 2011.
An average company spends 4% of revenue on risk management activities. The Ernst & Young approach to GRC ensures that organizations not only leverage their risk spend and reduce their risk of failure, but that they strike a balance between achieving compliance and contribute to protecting and enhancing business performance.
96% of Financial Services institutions reported an increased focus on risk appetite but only 25% reported a link to business decisions. This is clearly a challenging area.
Nearly 70% of organizations are highly reliant on their Governance / Risk & Compliance (GRC) activities as a safeguard against failure. However, two-thirds of companies think this spending and dependency is not matched by the value that business leaders think they currently get from their GRC functions. Therefore, there is a clear need for getting greater value from what isspent. We offer a holistic and integrated approach to managing risk that drives improved business performance. We help traditionally siloed or disparate risk practices to be aligned and integrated to achieve greater efficiency and value across the risk value chain. We also help executive management and board members to manage risk to create the greatest return for their shareholders. Our services include: Enterprise risk assessment Risk & control framework assessment Enterprise risk management and governance (ERM) Operational risk advisory services
Our client was required by the regulator to address accuracy and completeness issues in their risk catalogue and related internal controls documentation. We were able to mobilize a bilingual English / Putonghua team of subject matter specialists to provide high quality deliverables to be accepted immediately by the regulator. It was a very enriching experience, I felt I was able to add a lot of value to my client. Eric Senior Manager Advisory Risk Greater China

With the many updates in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations, I have been leading many engagements in this field. With my, and my teams wealth of experience, I can, not only help my clients to be compliant, but also provide value-added market insights on the current practices amongst financial organizations. My clients really value this. Vincent Manager Advisory Risk Greater China One of the myths around FATCA is the Asian financial institutions are not impacted by this American tax legislation. We carried out an impact assessment for a life insurer with extended operations in Asia. It was fascinating delving into the operations and identify impacts which were unexpected. Sam Senior Manager Advisory Risk Greater China Regulatory aspects play an important role when establishing asset management structure and also in its on-going operations. More onerous regulations are forcing asset managers to invest more time and money in compliance and related activities. Effectively navigating the increasingly sophisticated regulatory environment will be a key challenge and could be a source of competitive advantage for asset managers over the next several years. Our aim is to deliver regulatory and compliance services helping asset managers to meet the relevant regulatory requirements while being flexible enough to accommodate future regulatory developments.
