Risk Control Matrix (RCM):

A Risk Control Matrix (RCM) is a structured tool used to: - Identify risks associated with business processes. - Define control objectives to address those risks. - Map actual controls implemented by the company. - Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of those controls. It is central to implementing and evaluating Internal Financial Controls (IFC) as per the Companies Act, 2013, especially Section 134(5)(e). The risk column in the RCM lists specific risks for each process activity. RCM captures: Control objective Control description (e.g., invoice matching before payment) Type of control (preventive/detective, manual/system) RCM is updated with: Control deficiencies Suggested remediation Target completion dates RCM provides auditable evidence of control performance and is be used by auditors for their own IFC opinion. We work closely with our clients to build Risk Control Matrices that align with their operations and help ensure robust internal financial controls.
