Enterprise Risk Assurance

Since January 2001, TXU has been implementing its Enterprise Risk Assurance process; establishing a governance structure, embedding risk and control self-assessments, and identifying and reporting on top tier risks. Their current focus is on identifying and certifying key process controls. Based on critical components of an effective risk management program, the speaker will describe and discuss TXU’s approach to ERA.

Cindy Speyrer is a manager at TXU with Assurance Services’ responsibilities for TXU Energy - Retail. Assurance Services is the new brand name given to the Internal Audit function. She has over 12 years experience in professional services including financial support services and risk management advisory services to clients in the energy services industry. Cindy is also responsible for the development of the assurance processes for the North America region of TXU.

Cindy led the development and implementation of TXU’s risk and control self-assessment process utilized in North America. This methodology drives the identification, assessment, and management of enterprise-wide risk through advanced facilitation and communication techniques and represents only one component of the Enterprise Risk Assurance process. Current thought leadership initiatives include identifying key process controls and implementing a periodic certification process as part of the overall assurance plan for each business unit.

Cindy is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Texas Society of CPA’s. She speaks on the subject of developing an enterprise-wide Risk Assurance process in various forums.

Pre-Meeting 10:30am

Ten Imperatives for a Post Enron World

Enron's collapse, and the implications of serious control issues that accompanied it, are having a profound impact on how organizations view their corporate governance and control environments. Directors and executive management are rethinking their governance processes with a heightened zeal to ensure that problems now apparent in certain organizations don't happen in theirs. In the midst of this period of self-examination, PricewaterhouseCoopers believes organizations should take a critical look at their internal audit functions, including ten imperatives for internal audit to provide a strong foundation for success in a radically altered business environment.

Rhonda McClinton is an Internal Audit Services Manager in PwC's Global Risk Management Services practice. An MBA in Internal Auditing from Louisiana State University, Ms. McClinton serves a variety of the firm's internal audit clients and regularly advises internal audit departments on strategic alignment and other issues.

John Copley is an Internal Audit Services Partner in PwC's Risk Management Services practice. A trustee and former vice president of the Institute of Internal Auditors Research Foundation, Mr. Copley served as one of the IIA's representatives to the National Association of Corporate Directors' Blue Ribbon Commission on Audit Committee Effectiveness, and as PwC's Project Sponsor for its best practice studies on corporate governance and audit committee performance conducted for the IIA Research Foundation.

Post-meeting 1:30pm

Auditing the Inventory Distribution Process

The JCPenney Domestic Logistics network is an enormous operation. Every year, this network utilizes over 100 major transportation carriers to bring millions of units of product from thousands of suppliers, to nearly 1,100 stores in every state and Puerto Rico, as well as available home delivery for JCP Direct (Catalog) merchandise and furniture.

An efficient supply chain is critical to the success of any business that provides products to consumers. Because of the large investment that is required to build and operate this logistics network, in terms of facilities, technology, and people, and the direct transportation cost of flowing goods through the network, as well as the sheer volume of transactions, Auditors need to understand the risks in this part of a Company’s operation, and the best way to add value through improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

Scott Sullins is a Senior Audit Manager with JCPenney. Scott and his team are responsible for the audit activities of JCPenney’s Logistics and Direct to Consumer Catalog businesses. Scott has over 17 years of auditing experience with JCPenney. Other members of the JCPenney team that will be involved with this presentation on Logistics auditing include: Jeff Seutter, Mike Kennedy, Vanessa Dennis, Lynsey McGlothlin, and Lesley Jeffcoat

Research Foundation

One of the Research Foundation’s newest publications is entitled Enterprise Risk Management: Pulling it All Together. The authors of this 163 page paperback publication examine the role of internal audit in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) implementation in five different types of organizations: the electric utility industry, manufacturing, retailing, oil and gas operations, and the public sector.

The publication’s objectives are to examine how the internal audit function partners with management to contribute to the ERM process, identify successful tools and techniques in ERM implementation, and provide examples of reporting structures used by internal audit to report ERM findings.

The publication is currently available (order number 456, price is $100 for IIA members and $125 for nonmembers). It can be purchased through the IIA Distribution Center (toll free in the U.S. 1-877-867-4957).

The IIA and The UTD School of Management To Host a Roundtable Discussion on Auditing Vendor Relationships

Interactive discussion will address the special issues facing auditors of outsourced functions

The Educational Products division of the International Institute of Internal Auditors along with The University of Texas at Dallas School of Management will hold a forum discussion October 25, 2002, on the issues related to auditing vendor relationships. The Institute of Internal Auditors produces a handbook series that provides audit practitioners with practical advice on conducting internal audits and the various risks and special factors associated with those audits. The format of this forum will provide content for the handbook by allowing local audit practitioners to participate in the issue development stage of the research.

The forum will be facilitated by Mark Salamasick M.B.A., C.I.S.A., currently a faculty member at UTD in the Accounting Department and Senior Vice President of E-Business Standards and Services at Bank of America. Chris Linsteadt, M.B.A. , M.S. will also participate in the facilitation process for the forum. Chris is a former Account and Risk Manager for the FDIC.

Outsourcing of various business processes has become very popular over the last decade with more and more companies looking for ways to cut costs and focus on their core competencies. The purpose of this forum and handbook is to develop guidance for auditing the processes that have been turned over to outsourcing partners. A great deal of attention has been paid to analyzing the need for and the benefits of outsourcing. Many researchers have developed models and checklists to assist in the creation of outsourcing agreements, but little attention has been paid to the assurance process of those services once they are bargained for by the organization. This forum will assist in the research phase of the handbook by providing valuable insight from experienced auditors and managers.

Sponsored by The IIA and the UTD SOM, the forum will take place at the UTD Campus in Room ECSS 2.415 of the Engineering South building from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. A luncheon will also be provided for the participants.

For additional information and to register, please contact Chris Linsteadt at ac120@attbi.com.
