Business best practices, regulations, and standards all require organizations to build and document sound internal controls. Certainly not a new concept. But in late 2023, many control experts are finding that decades-old models like COSO and similar frameworks that were supposed to be the all-in solution have not kept up with the speed of emerging risks and opportunities.

In this session, we’ll examine the broad concept of internal controls – what they are and especially what they aren’t. We’ll look at what works in real-world business plus address the recurring reasons controls fail. Last, we’ll build an action checklist to close the divide between control purpose and control results.

In order to be awarded the full credit hours, you must attend the entire session and answer at least 3 of the polling questions. Once the requirements are met, your CPE certificate will be available to download in the webinar. Participants will earn 1.0 CPE credits.
