Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for implementing the Integrated Governance program. Briefly described, some embodiments of a method comprise the steps of: forming an Integrated Governance team to identify problematic issues in designated governance areas across a business enterprise, the Integrated Governance team comprising members having knowledge of designated governance areas and of operational units within the enterprise; compiling data from a plurality of databases that contain information regarding the governance areas for a plurality of the operational units in the enterprise; integrating together data from the plurality of databases to form a comprehensive summary of governance information for the enterprise; analyzing, as a team, the comprehensive summary to identify one or more significant issues within the governance areas for the enterprise; and forming a plan to address a respective issue (e.g., developing business controls where there is no clear owner of an issue, etc.).

Abstract: Methods for generating an aggregate report to provide a certification of controls associated with a data set include identifying sources that generate information to be included in the data set. A plurality of controls associated with the identified sources are identified. At least one of the controls is selected as a key control. The key control is tested to assess its efficacy as a control for its identified source. The key control is modified to adjust its efficacy based on the testing of the key control when the efficacy fails to satisfy a criterion. An aggregate report is generated on the plurality of controls based on the testing of the key control to provide a certification of the controls associated with the data set.
