About the Commonwealth Bank

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia is a leading provider of integrated financial services, committed to continuously improving governance practices and ensuring alignment with business, stakeholders, and customers' needs.

As a key player in the Australian market, they strive to provide independent and objective assurance of the effectiveness of their risk management, controls, and governance processes. Group Audit and Assurance (GA&A) serves as the internal audit function for the Group, focusing on supporting the business with new insights and risk coverage that prioritizes customers.

Evolving customer expectations, competitive threats, and the pace of change require GA&A to stay ahead of the curve, leveraging digital technology to transform entire industries and ways of working. By embracing innovation and adopting global best practices, GA&A aims to continually reimagine itself and deliver insightful assurance to the Board.

In recent years, GA&A has successfully embedded digital assurance into audit activities, injecting Artificial Intelligence (AI) into routine control testing and utilizing digital tools to enhance the overall experience for employees. This strategic move has enabled GA&A to reduce administrative overhead, increasing team capacity for high-value judgement-based activities and expanding support to include sharing knowledge and tools that create better risk coverage across the Bank.

By harnessing the power of data, analytics, and AI, GA&A delivers smarter, faster, and safer outcomes to address current and emerging risks, providing better assurance outcomes for customers and the community. GA&A's commitment to excellence was recognized through its ABA100 win for both Risk Management and Business Innovation in The Australian Business Awards 2023.
