10 News 35% Dissatisfaction with focus on cybersecurity Just 35% of Irish audit committee members are satisfied with their level of focus on managing cybersecurity risks, according to KPMG’s latest Global Audit Committee Pulse Survey. At a global level, 25% are satisfied, despite the issue being identified as a key challenge by committee members. While audit committees in general express confidence in financial reporting and audit quality, they rank legal/ regulatory compliance, cybersecurity risk, company controls around risk, tone at the top and organisational culture as their top challenges. The 2017 Global Audit Committee Pulse Survey can be downloaded at KPMG.ie. Deloitte Ireland has acquired Red Planet, a Dublin-based innovation consultancy. The firm focuses on driving corporate revenue growth through structured access to start-up innovations. According to Brendan Jennings, Managing Partner at Deloitte Ireland, Red Planet is a clear fit for the Big 4 firm. “We have to disrupt the way we work and deliver value,” he said. “Red Planet’s outside-in, start-up-led approach brings a different way of working for our clients. Furthermore, it expands our global network of Karl Aherne (left) and Brendan Jennings Deloitte acquires Red Planet experts, partners and start-ups to help our clients understand and harness disruptive technologies to create new and accelerated growth.” Karl Aherne, CEO of Red Planet, added: “Companies need to hardwire innovation into every part of their business, at every level, which will enable 10 times rather than 10% growth.” The deal follows the launch of Deloitte Ireland’s new Blockchain Hub, its recent acquisition of System Dynamics and ongoing investment in robotics, artificial intelligence and analytics.
