processes, which is why it’s critical to partner with a firm that is focused on timely and accurate execution. At DEPL,
we believe that delivering efficient, effective and comprehensive audits on time and with no surprises is paramount.

primarily on the IT risks that threaten the particular client’s most important business objectives.

information technology to support their
business processes. Therefore any risk to a

business processes and also ensure the

reliability of information assets.

and the speed at which technology
advancement is fueling innovation in every
industry, companies invest much resources
on mission-critical and large-scale IT
initiatives, making business processes
more efficient, more agile, and more
Insight-driven. In making technology
investments, there are at least three key
hurdles to overcome:
1. Making the right technology
choices;
2. Acquiring adequate funding, and
3. Realizing the full value of the
investment after implementation.
As a result, a vast number of IT initiatives
have failed to deliver against expectations.
Those costly failures remain one of the
toughest challenges facing business
executives and the businesses they serve.

environment of complex global supply
chains, ever increasing regulation, and a
