Titus coordinated activities to ensure adequate coverage of financial controls and compensating controls were considered. Assisted in the remediation efforts to reduce risks and develop action plans to address control gaps.

Technology Risk Assessment
A subsidiary of a Fortune 500 insurance company looked to Titus to perform a technology risk assessment in support of the annual audit planning process. Titus facilitated a half day roundtable discussion with mid to upper level IT management identifying risks to IT resources (i.e., applications, operating systems, hardware, data, people, and facilities) and processes supporting and enabling the Company’s business. The information gathered was used to create a universe of auditable entities and ultimately a technology audit plan that was aligned with the Internal Audit plan.

Technology/Internal Audit Risk Co-Sourcing Solution
Through a RFP process, Titus was awarded a 3 year contract by a Fortune 100 communications company to provide a Co-sourcing solution for the company’s SOX 404 testing. Working side-by-side with a Big 4 firm, Titus put together a team of consultants who documented and executed test scripts for both financial and GCC cycles.
