Technology Risk - MBA


The Opportunity

The business environment, along with our clients’ needs and expectations, is changing
quickly and markedly. Key market trends – technological advances, globalization, and
evolving laws, regulations and standards - are transforming businesses, including business
processes and related data flows but also making them more complex. The pace of these
trends is accelerating, resulting in a fundamentally different business environment.
Companies are larger, more global, more complex and subject to greater legal, regulatory
and accounting standards changes than ever before. As a result, risks, particularly
technology risks, are escalating. One of the key areas of change is the increased use of
information technology (IT) by companies, making IT increasingly vital to everything
companies do. Companies are implementing newer technologies such as cloud, big data,
mobile, social, blockchain, artificial intelligence, robotics, the internet of things, sensors
and more, to bring about change faster, more continuously and with more rapid adoption
rates. Business and technology are rapidly converging. As companies implement newer
technologies to improve their business, they generally increase the complexity of their
business (e.g. creating more ways to initiate, record, process, and report transactions) and
their IT environment (e.g., rapid pace of technology change, large number of in-scope
applications and supporting technologies, increased use of outsourcing, increased use of
end-user-reporting and computing tools). While creating many benefits, the added
complexity is increasing risks. To keep pace with the increased use of technology and assess
the related risks, seamless integration of our Technology Risk professionals across service
lines and with other Advisory domains is becoming more important to bringing
comprehensive solutions to our clients that transform their business while protecting and
enabling sustainable business performance.
