Elevating the Impact of Internal Audit: A Glimpse Into the Future

The ability to assess and pivot as new risks are uncovered or emerge is a necessity for today's internal audit departments. Since traditional audit methodologies stifle this ability, agile auditing has become the de facto response for teams looking to be more nimble. Left unmentioned is that while agile methodology is well known within software development circles, many internal audit practitioners are unsure of where to begin with agile. Are scrum and kanban the best project management approaches? Or can we reimagine the possibilities of what agile means to audit? Join Melissa Pici, Senior IT Audit Manager at Syniverse to explore the possibilities of agile and how teams large and small can easily implement the practice to immediately begin delivering additional value and insights to executives and management.

Ethical resilience is often listed as one of the top attributes of high-performing internal auditors and audit leaders in organizations around the world. To learn and sustain trust in the organizations they serve, internal auditors must conform to the profession’s code of ethics, and they must also bring a strong moral compass to their role. Internal auditors must guard against “blind spots” - a temporary inability to see the ethical aspect of behavior or a decision being made. This session will explore how to identify/navigate blind spots and other challenges and opportunities as they model ethical behavior in their organization.

IT risk and compliance management is a growing and significant challenge to organizations around the world and across industries. The dependency on information and technology across business processes is pervasive, which makes standing up effective IT risk and compliance programs crucial to enterprise risk and broader GRC initiatives. Growing regulatory requirements, combined with dependency on IT, make it more necessary than ever that organizations develop a clear and compelling business case for automating their approach to IT risk and compliance, and select a solution that delivers value to the business.

In a recent GRC 20/20 Research evaluation, AuditBoard has been shown to deliver significant value in IT risk and compliance management. This value is measured across efficiency, effectiveness, and agility, while reducing risk exposure.

The phrase “Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) controls” refers to the policies, procedures, and systems that companies implement to manage and report on the performance of their ESG programs. These controls help ensure that a company's ESG data is accurate, complete, and reliable, which is important for investors, regulators, and other internal and external stakeholders. ESG controls can include measures such as risk assessments, data collection and analysis, internal reporting and verification processes, and external assurance.

This webinar will discuss how to build  connections between different teams needed to implement the proper controls, minimize risk, and mature your ESG program.

As the focus on third-party risks continues to intensify, pressure on internal audit to provide insights into TRPM programs is also increasing. The good news is that third-party risk management tools continue to evolve to make programs more efficient, and also enhance the ability to monitor vendors on an ongoing basis. In addition, the utilization of technology can help streamline the way departments interact and manage risk while also supporting the ability to provide transparency to the internal audit process. Internal audit departments can use these tools to gain insights into their organization’s TPRM program through maturity assessments, audits of portions of the program, or through an audit of the entire program. Join Amy Feldman and Oliver Snavely, consulting directors at RSM to learn more about TRPM technologies and ways internal audit departments can provide insights on the performance of a TPRM program.

The Future of SOX and Internal Audit: Automation, Analytics, and Bots

Who has access to your company’s data and what risks do they pose to your organization? While these questions seem basic, most organizations cannot confidently answer them, despite an accelerating trend of third-party threats and incidents. Building a robust third-party risk program is complex and takes time. Building a program that allows information security teams to be strategic in managing third-party risks is even more challenging. 

During this session at the recent ISC2 GRC Virtual Summit, we explored how to successfully implement a strategic and technology-enabled third-party risk program to manage this emerging source of risk.

Sustainability reporting continues to be a fast-evolving area. There has been an uptick in increased regulation over climate-related financial impact and reporting metrics, greenhouse gas emissions and other disclosure requirements that companies report on.
