MetricStream CEO Addresses UAE IIA Members on 'The Changing Face

MetricStream, Inc.,Internal auditors are no longer limited to audit management and control assessment. They are now in a position to transform the business landscape by expanding their functions to include strategic and operational risk management. These were the thoughts expressed by Shellye Archambeau, CEO of MetricStream Inc., as she addressed the UAE wing of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, September 10, 2010.

The event saw Ms Archambeau providing insights on how the business landscape has completely altered. Business agendas are now determined by external forces such as regulators, increasing commodity costs, environmental changes, terrorism and war. In this risk-ridden environment, auditors are being called upon to broaden their role beyond control assessment to embrace risk management, compliance management, fraud prevention and collaboration with key stakeholders.

MetricStream provides a range of world-class GRC solutions to help internal auditors confidently meet these new imperatives and challenges. Recognized by leading organizations across the globe, MetricStream has emerged as the market leader in Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions. The company is renowned across industries for its comprehensive, flexible and scalable suite of products.

Automated functionalities help to reduce costs and manpower while increasing efficiency.
