Overview
COSO, regulators and the IIA all push auditors to be more flexible and risk-based. This 90-minute webinar on creating and implementing an agile risk-based audit process gives a step-by-step guide to converting a traditional audit shop into a risk-based audit organization.
Because the approach is layered, audit shops can keep practices that have worked well and add pieces of the agile risk-based process over time, tailoring it to their organization.
You'll define risk-based auditing, see the agile risk audit process and the audit cycle from a new angle, and link risk-based auditing to enterprise risk management and to processes. The session also covers entity creation and management, reporting to boards of directors, improving productivity, building flexibility, common challenges and new audit management tools.
Why attend: Many audit shops find it hard to contribute in today's COSO and risk-based environment, and moving away from traditional practices has proven slow and difficult. This session offers a clear path to meeting current standards while motivating the audit team. It suits general auditors, audit managers, auditors, risk managers, CFOs, CEOs, COOs and boards of directors.
