Deep Dive II SSC process, risk & control analytics 17
Key objectives Shared Services Centre (SSC) Process, Risk & Control Analytics manage based on exceptions, series of automated tests to help highlight variation from norm or policy violations proactively monitor for fraud or policy abuse including from internal and external compliance perspectives highlight system access and segregation of duties issues data matching, reconciliation and quality automation, underpinning greater confidence in SSC KPIs highlight process inefficiencies, non standard transaction flows and bottle necks in the service improve internal and external audit efficiency, allowing the team to have continuous audit monitoring 18 Deloitte Shared Services, GBS & BPO Conference 2014
The Case Shared Services Centre (SSC) Process, Risk & Control Analytics A more proactive, responsive role can be delivered for SSC through the adoption of analytics. SSC have masses of data a better way is needed to pick the transactions that matter. Move the SSC forwards on in its lifecycle especially as more work comes in, there has to be a way to work more efficiently or differently to keep up. Show Audit Committees that we are embracing automation opportunities and at the same time improving compliance and controls, reducing risk e.g. Bribery Act or SAO sign off. Provides evidence to independent assurance providers that process design is fully operating 19 Deloitte Shared Services, GBS & BPO Conference 2014
Example 1 Process Pathway Analysis We created an end to end process visualisation to assess deviations EXAMPLE Understanding and visibility of ALL the process flow paths. The common patterns can be checked for conformity to the process. More advanced calculations can be added to look at average dwell in each stage for each pattern. 20 Deloitte Shared Services, GBS & BPO Conference 2014
Example 2 Process Performance Analysis EXAMPLE We used a visualisation technology to build a custom interface for users to explore and ask questions of the data against their processes and business scenarios The overall view of the process shows us key metric for each stage of the process. The boxes change colour when the rate in and rate out are out of balance. Using filterers we can compare different types of order scenarios over time. Further analysis can be performed to drill into the data that will allow further analysis of the selected scenario. Custom view can be made for different teams, showing relevant visualisations and metrics. 21 Deloitte Shared Services, GBS & BPO Conference 2014
Example 3 Risk & Control Analytics EXAMPLE Identify and connect to relevant data sources Risk monitoring and controls automation platform Capture knowledge of key risks, internal controls and assurance requirements Action taken Route and Escala te Except ion Closed Notify User Gener ate Except ion Defined exception handling and remediation function Exception Management System Dashboard Reporting 22 Deloitte Shared Services, GBS & BPO Conference 2014
Sharing Key Learning Points Analytics will not solve your process problems be they in the SSC or upstream Have a long term plan and implement it gradually walk before you try and run Tackle opportunities process by process, and implement the those repeating analytics in waves Don t allow ownership to pass to IT. Allow and expect your underpinning technologies and organisation model to evolve Bear in mind independence from your core ERP / business systems Ensure the environment is ITGC compliant if you want your audit colleagues to rely on your capabilities 23 Deloitte Shared Services, GBS & BPO Conference 2014
