Featured Article
It’s A Turf War, on A Global Scale
“Paris attacks will add to Wall Street anxiety”, “Thousands feared dead in terrorist attacks on US”, “Marikana violence is a sign of things to come”…….
 

News headlines of this nature often spread hysteria far and wide, whether stirred up through the mainstream media, or whipped into a frenzy via social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Stock markets plunge, consumer confidence nosedives, businesses bolt down the hatches in fear of the shockwaves, and families relocate to perceived “safer” places.

Latest Insights
Still Using Excel for Risk Management and/or Audit?
 
Most of us and especially the younger generation understand the power and benefits of technology and yet we often choose to ignore better ways of doing things and stick to the ways we have always done things. For example, Excel is still often the tool of choice and used in preference to or outside of an enterprise database-driven solution. There is a proliferation of Excel spreadsheets floating around all organisations.
