Mission/ Core purpose of the Job

1. Mission/ Core purpose of the Job

To provide stewardship of MTN South Africa’s performance in the organization-wide management of revenue leakage risk, and future design and implementation of a revenue responsible organization, commercial framework and technology landscape.

The role integrates assurance and risk management disciplines into an overall proactive data-centric assurance discipline, with the goal of continuously protecting and improving financial integrity, while also enhancing business value and customer experience, strengthening the Second level of Defense. Ensures access to cross-domain data sources and cross domain analytics knowledge.

The role encompasses both Revenue Assurance and Business Assurance. Business Assurance is a level up from Revenue Assurance as it addresses not only revenues but also experiences, products, partners, and other factors that are a part of the value chain. Revenue Assurance addresses the operational aspect and is normally expected to offer a solution to a known issue. Business Assurance, on the other hand, focuses on the control aspect and isn’t directly involved in operational activities.

Business assurance is the solution which allows organizations to adequately address challenges by implementing a flexible and effective control framework with real time monitoring capabilities.
