Next Generation Audit
Does your audit function reach beyond measuring and assessing compliance?
We can help the audit function evolve to provide greater value to the organization. The
best audit functions spend a significant portion of their hours operating as a proactive
business partner providing value add consulting capabilities to address emerging risks
and situations. Begin the migration to become a key business partner with your organization today.
Control Automation and Monitoring
Control Automation and effective use of monitoring controls can significantly decrease the cost of compliance. Have an independent third party take a look at your controls to identify potential opportunities to both strengthen your control environment and reduce the burden of testing and performing control functions that do not add value to the organization.
Audit Efficiencies
Is your organization having controls tested multiple times by different groups to support different
audits or agendas? All this testing creates disruptions to daily operations and takes valuable and limited
time away from your business resources. Let us help you identify and capitalize on opportunities to
create auditing efficiencies to save the organization and audit function time, limit disruptions, and
produce a more integrated audit.
Vendor Management and Contract Review
Your customers do not care who revealed the information they entrusted to you. Are your vendors providing the appropriate level of control over your data and your customers' data? Do the contracts you have with your vendors provide suitable protection? Industry experts reference looking at each vendor through an appropriate "lens" to identify the relative risks that each relationship represents to the organization. It takes a great deal of experience to know which "lens" to use and how to use it. We can bring a high level of expertise in reviewing contracts, controls audits, and service agreements to identify potential concerns and help shore up weaknesses.
Audit Planning
Work with an experienced auditor to take a fresh perspective on your audit plan. We can work
with Audit Committees and Audit Executives to Audit Managers to assist with your audit planning.
Help ensure your audit plan encompasses appropriate risks including risks related to emerging
technology and new business channels.
Risk Assessments
We can assist you in performing risk assessments over specific services or business lines or
systems. We begin by working with you to understand the function, purpose, nature and history
of the in scope services/functions. We then identify the in scope processes, services, systems,
vendors, data, and interdependencies. We will explore the user requirements, potential changes
or enhancement requests and pending evolution. We determine relative risks and assess current
risk awareness and environment. We recommend and report our observations and provide a step
by step plan to manage the identified risks.
Control Design, Development, and Deployment
Does your organization have new processes or services? Have you received criticism from regulatory agencies or auditors? Put an expert to work in designing, developing and deploying controls. White Pillar can walk you through customized control solutions that work for your organization. We can help you identify different options, document them and help you put them to work today.

from in house developed and supported systems to off the shelf products and vendor hosted
