Risk Management and Internal Audit - Tracking Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Effectiveness

Why Should You Attend:

Implementing ERM can, in many cases, lead to results which miss by far the desired objectives. Significant impact improvements can be achieved if the key benefits/impacts that are desired are identified up-front. Avoiding the limitations of general goals such as reduced risk exposure, improved compliance and more effective business processes, management requires clearly defined key improvement areas in order to facilitate process enabling verification of the extent to which risk levels are maintained within the overall risk appetite of the organization.

This course will examine, from an audit perspective, how internal audit can ensure that appropriate key improvement indicators have been established and are monitored by management in an effective manner.
