Audit & Risk Management (A&RM)
A&RM's mission is to enable better performance through risk insights, control improvements and governance assurance.

In short: helping mitigate risk, providing assurance and driving performance.
A&RM provides assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management processes in reducing risk exposures to acceptable levels as determined by management's risk appetite.

supports RELX's assessment and reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).
We provide independent, high quality assurance for RELX, working in partnership with our colleagues in the business to help them identify, understand, communicate, manage and mitigate their principal risks. Everything we do is about supporting the drive for performance and growth while safeguarding our brands and reputation. Our objective, informed, timely and actionable approach has a positive impact on the business by helping to make improvements in the way RELX works.
A&RM is involved in all segments of RELX and is managed as a single global team. A&RM has a strong focus on the strategies and changes in the organisation as an integral part of RELX's management and control mechanisms. A&RM consists of a focused, high calibre team of 20 professionals currently located in the UK, US and Philippines with a strong focus on business issues and is highly involved in risk management initiatives in the company. The team members discuss the business objectives and risks with senior management and together with them, identify areas for improvement.
