RPA ✔✔technology that enables a robot to execute processes by emulating human interaction
with computer applications
3 primary components of RPA ✔✔bots, bot manager, workflow design module
attended robots ✔✔require a human to initiate the process through some form of trigger, computer
is generally unavailable while running
unattended robots ✔✔run on schedule in the background without any human interaction
operational implementation risks ✔✔insufficient exception handling or inefficient operational
delivery from poor bot resource management (ex: too man processes to a single bot)
financial implementation risks ✔✔poorly defined requirements leading to financial misstatements,
inadequate segregation of duties, automating processes that lead to financial loss
regulatory implementation risks ✔✔humans directing bot activities in a fraudulent manner,
immaturity of laws regulating RPA
organizational implementation risks ✔✔inadequate change management, documentation, or
continuity planning, failure to retain human expertise upon RPA use
technology implementation risks ✔✔instability of integrating applications and the effect that may
have on bot performance, cyber risks, lack of encryption as part of bot design
5 prerequisites for effective bot governance ✔✔1. identify key stakeholders and proactively seek
their input
2. determine the RPA operating model
3. conduct and RPA POC and select the RPA tool
4. perform process discovery
5. prepare a business case
1. identify key stakeholders and proactively seek their input (prerequisite) ✔✔getting feedback
from and involving a number of individuals and business areas (sponsors, IT leaders, RPA leaders,
senior mgmt, architects, internal control, internal audit, external audit)
2. determine the RPA operating model (prerequisite) ✔✔centralized/decentralized/federated,
where the implementation will reside, whether citizen development will be allowed
3. conduct an RPA Proof of Concept (POC) and select the RPA tool (prerequisite) ✔✔prove that
RPA technology is feasible and valuable solution, ensure you use the best RPA tool for the
operating model, conduct a POC with software candidates
4. perform process discovery (prerequisite) ✔✔determine viable automation opportunities, ensures
the program won;t stall after the first few processes are deployed (should include technical and
financial feasibility)
5. prepare a business case (prerequisite) ✔✔should be informed by an aggregate of NPV for the
highest-priority processes, must deliver value
bad RPA candidates ✔✔processes that require significant judgment, interact with applications
with user interfaces that change, or are immature or unstable
7 key components of RPA governance ✔✔1. governing bodies
2. organizational construct
3. operational life cycle
4. internal controls
5. technology governance
6. performance management
7. vendor management
1. governing bodies (component) ✔✔identify the governing bodies that will provide oversight of
the RPA program (review risks, ensure adequate risk mitigation, confirm automation processes)
2. organizational construct (component) ✔✔clearly define roles for the people accountable for
operational delivery, should be a hybrid of IT and business personnel
3. operational life cycle (component) ✔✔define the stages through which ideas must progress
4. internal controls (component) ✔✔review existing internal control policies and consolidate risks
that have been identified at the program level and at the individual RPA level, create a risk register
to detail how each risk is mitigated (should relate to controls embedded in the operational life
cycle)
5. technology governance (component) ✔✔update or expand documentation to incorporate RPA,
application/credential/user/licensing/continuity/cybersecurity/storage/coding management
6. performance management (component) ✔✔develop annual budget, value targets, milestonebased plan, key performance indicators (KPIs), and documentation of how these measures will be
tracked
7. vendor management (component) ✔✔at least 2 vendors: RPA software company and
development partner, must support best practices, communication, and support measures
steps in conducting an RPA Proof Of Concept (POC) ✔✔1. identify 2 or 3 use cases spanning
multiple applications with the potential to create sig
