In some organisations, resources can be scarce. Periodic self-assessments or attestations are a way for responsible individuals to certify that correct procedural controls have been followed to reduce risks.

Control self-assessments and checklists help to confirm existence of key internal controls and these attestations provide focus for internal auditors when testing controls.

Organisations undertaking self-assessment often view it as a cost-effective technique for establishing “touch points” with the right people, enabling management to communicate as well as educate.

Guardian enables on-line attestations

Periodically attesting that risks and controls have been reviewed and that internal controls are effective and efficient is the heart and soul of a governance program.

Used in conjunction with risk profiling and internal audit, self-assessment are an important element of good corporate governance.

Guardian allows users to periodically attest on-line. No paper, no hassle.

In one glance, the CEO, CFO or CRO can see who has attested and who hasn’t!
