“We have the data engines to provide all info any risk manager would want, cut, sliced, diced in any way you can think of at the touch of a button. We take that data, interpret it and work with the business to identify what future control issues and risks might be, in likelihood and probability.”
Malcolm Brooke, Group Chief Controls Officer

Everyone on the team is adept at interpreting data so we can identify future control issues.
