GRC Insights Unveiled: A Candid Conversation With IDC Analyst Philip Harris

In today’s volatile environment, organizations face unprecedented challenges in managing risks that are growing in complexity and magnitude. The current landscape is fraught with cybersecurity threats, regulatory changes, evolving ESG demands, and digital risks — all of which require a strategic and integrated approach to risk management. 

Recent incidents, such as the AT&T cybersecurity breach and the CrowdStrike IT outage, highlight the escalating risk landscape and underscore the need for robust integrated risk management (IRM). 

Many organizations struggle to keep pace with the rapid emergence of new risks. Traditional risk management frameworks often operate in silos, leading to fragmented oversight and reactive decision-making. This disjointed approach can leave companies vulnerable, undermining their resilience and strategic objectives. The implications for businesses are significant: financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties are just a few potential outcomes of inadequate risk management.

From this webinar, you will:
 - Learn how to prioritize and manage emerging risks such as cybersecurity, ESG reporting, compliance, and digital risks to safeguard their organizations.
 - Understand the importance of ERM in supporting audit committees and boards, ensuring robust governance frameworks amidst growing uncertainties.
 - Discover best practices for integrating ERM, ORM, TRM, and GRC using IRM technology to create a cohesive and proactive risk management strategy.
 - Gain critical insights from the 2024 CAQ-Deloitte Audit Committee Practices Report and Wheelhouse Advisors’ 2024 IRM Navigator™ Annual Viewpoint Report, offering guidance on navigating the IRM technology market and making informed decisions.

Leading Through Uncertainty: Risk Management Essentials in 2024 and Beyond

Forging and executing strategic plans for internal audit functions has long been a leading practice in the profession. However, The IIA’s new Global Internal Audit Standards will mandate that chief audit executives “plan strategically” to ensure the function is sufficiently resourced and positioned to support the organization’s success. The new requirement will be a paradigm shift for many internal audit functions that are managed tactically one year at a time. 
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Explain the value of planning and leading strategically.
- Prepare for the requirements mandated by the new standards.
- Implement best practices in forging a strategic plan.
- Align internal audit strategy with the enterprise
- Describe the imperative to execute and refresh the internal audit strategic plan.

Be on the Lookout! Digital Risk Trends and Drivers

In addition to high level business objectives, risks, and audit plans, centralizing and connecting risk and controls across the organization is becoming a top priority for Boards in 2024. This is largely being driven by the influx of new regulatory requirements, including the UK Corporate Governance Code Reform and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requiring organizations to develop stronger risk based internal controls. In addition to compliance with these new requirements, the benefits of a strong risk and controls environment include: enhanced fraud detection and prevention, improved investor confidence, and support for better decision-making.

This webinar covers the importance of connecting and centralizing risks and controls across your business to drive compliance with the UK’s Corporate Governance Code Reform and CSRD. 

In this webinar you will learn:
- The pain points of building a strong risk and controls-focused culture in a manual environment.
- Best practices for empowering your control owners to test their controls more efficiently and effectively.
- The benefits of connecting your internal controls and risks across the organization and how AI & Analytics could help.

In this session, we'll identify the critical elements needed to design an internal audit data strategy that drives impact.

What you will gain from this webinar:
- Understanding of the number one reason data strategies fail.

Front Line Perspectives on Adhering to The IIA's New Global IA Standards

None of us are as ethical as we think we are. 
 
All evidence points to the fact our society is not getting any better ethically. The number and variety of recent scandals proves our culture has changed in the last half-century to one with a greater emphasis on self, ignoring or rationalizing any unethical behavior involved in our decision-making or actions. You might say you are ethical and perhaps that everyone at your organization is as well. It’s time to see if you and the leaders at your organization are truly walking the talk.

From this webinar, you'll be able to: 
 - Identify The Big Me character choice in real-life fraud, ethics, and audit cases.
 - Recognize blind spots that exist and why they lead to being The Ethical Rationalizer.
 - Select personal values and create an ethical mantra to become The Everyday Ethical Auditor.

The SEC's final rule on Climate-Related Disclosures marks a significant step toward corporate transparency, reflecting the demand for more consistent, comparable, and reliable climate risk reporting.

Decoding the New SEC Cybersecurity Ruling

With the passage of the EU’s AI Act — which has been likened to the GDPR for artificial intelligence —  it is essential for businesses to address the impact of AI on their future strategies and operational frameworks. Internal auditors must understand the effects of such rapid technological advancement on their companies’ risk landscape – as well as the potential opportunities cutting-edge technology presents  for enhancing audit processes. Balancing AI’s potential as a key catalyst for growth with the growing risks these technologies bring will require internal audit to step into a leadership role in helping their businesses prepare for compliance with the new and evolving AI regulations.

In this webinar, you will learn from industry experts how to put safeguards in place, including:
 - An overview of the EU’s AI Act, and internal audit’s role in preparing for compliance

Is Your Business Prepared for the EU AI Act: Internal Audit’s Critical Role

Return to work, the great resignation, quiet quitting, agile resourcing, upskilling — there is no shortage of talent themes and buzzwords keeping people leaders and HR business partners on their toes. These challenges impact how companies operate, how audit engagements are executed, and how audit plans are completed. Audit leaders are uniquely positioned to build engagement to create high-performing teams. While these teams may not be immune to the next "big thing", genuine trust, coaching, inclusion, and care will differentiate high-impact audit, risk, and compliance functions. In this session, audit leaders will share the strategies that have worked well for them in this area (and what hasn’t worked as well).

From this session, learn to:
- Develop your teams to build engagement and connectedness.
- Create inclusion across country lines.
- Develop employees that benefit the company after their role in audit. 
- Adapt different skill sets to be nimble in a challenging talent environment.

Engaging an Inspired Audit Team

The audit profession can be slow to embrace change — for a function that focuses on operational auditing (efficiency, economy, effectiveness), many audit teams do not have these E’s optimized. As a result, forward-looking audit programs have incorporated an agile approach to internal audit in order to minimize costs, reduce time to delivery, and encourage closer relationships with internal and external stakeholders. This session will take attendees through the principles of agile auditing and how to apply them regardless of an audit team’s methodology, maturity, or company culture.
