Governance To better address the governance challenges of the modern global enterprise, Genpact acquired Axis Risk Consulting in 2007. Axis’s leadership includes alumni from all Big 4 accounting firms and its 100-plus person team of experts provides Sarbanes-Oxley, internal audit, and other similar risk-management services to 60-plus customers, both in India and globally. Its experienced professionals regularly provide solutions such as SOX planning, documentation and testing, IT audits, fraud and ethics investigations, and enterprise risk-management and control self-assessment programs. Our Approach The Axis team has a healthy mix of Chartered Accountants, MBAs, Certified Internal Auditors and Certified Information Systems Auditor. More importantly, Axis experts always report directly to the client and have no other reporting relationship to other Genpact operating teams that may be in the client’s employ. In fact, Axis operates as a separate legal entity within Genpact. Such structural independence enables Axis to act on behalf of clients to deliver compliance and governance solutions in a way that manages “reputation risk” even as we attend to traditional business, process and technology risks. Unlike the internal structures of Big 4 firms, which preclude global delivery from one country, our customers also reap the cost-saving and performance-enhancing benefits of dealing with one dedicated global team. Governance support can be provided on a standalone basis, or in a complementary fashion with Genpact’s other Finance & Accounting solutions. Whether a client simply needs staff-augmentation and full-project support, we have the flexibility to accommodate and deliver. And we can accomplish all this by leveraging best-in-class practices that are a natural outgrowth of our team’s Big 4 DNA. Client Successes Our expertise in Finance & Accounting solutions coupled with our unique operating model permits us to provide Governance clients with significant costs savings of over 30 percent, relative to comparable Big 4 fee.
