Internal Auditing and Controls — On Demand

As a finance and accounting leader, your organization relies on you to help achieve its goals and improve its performance. Strong internal controls are essential to make this happen. It helps to have a framework to enable you to design, implement, and assess controls and to ensure that you have all the bases covered.

A leading authority in internal controls is the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), which is a joint initiative of the five private sector organizations. COSO is dedicated to providing thought leadership through the development of frameworks and guidance on enterprise risk management, internal control, and fraud deterrence. 

Learn how internal audit can be an invaluable resource to identify and address control weaknesses in your operations and how it is ideally positioned to use the COSO framework in your organization.

You also want to stay ahead of the curve to anticipate changes and be proactive. What are the emerging issues and concerns in internal audit that can be applied to your business?  

Deborah and Johann will provide insights in these areas, along with examples and practical techniques.

This webcast will assist you to

• assess your organization’s internal control environment
• apply the COSO Internal Control Framework to your business to implement or strengthen internal controls
• understand how internal audit is responding to changes in business practices and society’s expectations
