The Three Lines of Defence is a popular framework for managing Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC).
In our first webinar, we explored the policy implications of the first line of defence – the front-line employees, then we explored effective policy management and oversight in the second line of defence.
In this webinar we now explore the third line of defence, audit and assurance professionals and their role in providing assurance and validation that policies are properly managed, communicated, and enforced in the organization.
The third line of defence is key in providing validation and assurance that policies are properly managed and current by the second line of defence, and the third line provides assurance that the first line of defence is aware of policies and that they are lived by throughout the organization to maintain integrity, mitigate risk, and reliably achieve organization objectives.
Join this session to learn:
- How the third line interacts with the first and second lines of defence to provide assurance on policies
- How to effectively audit and validate policies to ensure they are current and understood in the organization
- Methods for third line employees to assure policies are managed by the second line
