With King III now here, there are a couple of basic requirements we all need to ensure are in effect.

Some of the requirements introduced by King III include:
  • The need for an annual integrated report that focuses on the impact of the organisation in the economic, environmental and social spheres
  • A statement by the audit committee to the board and shareholders on the effectiveness of internal financial controls to be included in the integrated report
  • The consideration of the strategic role of IT and its importance from a governance perspective
  • The positioning of the internal audit as a strategic function that conducts a risk-based internal audit and provides a written assessment of the company’s system of internal control, including internal financial controls
  • The governance of risk through formal risk management processes
