Click on the focus areas below to learn which are most relevant for organizations in your industry.
IT-integrated compliance
Through data analytics, technology enablement, accelerators, GRC tools and repeatable processes, we enable clients to have a testing function that is scalable, efficient and cost effective.
Channel partner compliance
Many companies sell their products through a channel model (distributors, resellers, agents) on a global basis. Generally, companies do not have clear visibility into their channel partners and so establish programs to audit and monitor their work. CTM can assist with testing and monitoring of controls at channel partners on an ongoing basis. This could include controls relating to FCPA.
Trade compliance
Companies establish controls to monitor their compliance with trade regulations (Import and Export Regulatory Compliance). CTM can assist organizations to establish ongoing compliance monitoring programs.
Third-party risk
CTM can assist with performing continuous monitoring of contract compliance, company policy and procedure compliance related to the use of third parties.
Regulatory compliance testing
CTM assists with the alignment of regulatory risks across a common set of objectives, enabling companies to eliminate redundant controls, centralize monitoring efforts, enhance risk coverage and improve reliance by internal and external auditors. PwC has developed a regulatory and policy compliance solution to assist companies (either through a co-source or managed service model) in building their regulatory compliance testing methodology, developing compliance test plans and executing tests to provide assurance on the compliance controls associated with applicable rules and regulations.
North American Electric Reliability Corp (NERC) compliance
Assist registered entities with implementing NERC internal controls programs. Our proven methodology, training curriculum, tools and templates combined with our growing inventory of NERC-based internal controls can help drive efficiencies and effectiveness throughout the implementation process.
Marketing regulations
Digital marketing activities are required to comply with various compliance policies (e.g., pharmacovigilance, privacy, promotional), however challenges exist with putting these policies into practice. CTM can help centralize the monitoring process while enhancing the visibility of the Risk Management functions in the business areas impacted by these operations.
Anti-money laundering (AML)
Using a team of AML controls testing specialists, PwC has developed a model using on-shore and off-shore resources to assist domestic and international banks with controls testing of their BSA/AML program.
Volker testing
CTM can assist in developing a program for ongoing monitoring of investment activities to ensure compliance with the Volker rule.
