Establishing a Privacy Framework and Monitoring With Metrics

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently adopted new rules to enhance and standardize public companies’ cybersecurity incident reporting and risk management disclosures.

These rules, effective in December of this year, represent a significant shift in the regulatory landscape. Public companies are required to disclose material cybersecurity incidents, their policies and procedures related to risk management, and information security governance, as well as the roles, responsibilities, and qualifications of the board when it comes to cybersecurity matters. 

Companies must act now to ensure they are prepared. See how forward-thinking audit, risk, and compliance teams are preparing for these new requirements.

Join us for an informative and insightful webinar as we delve into the rapidly changing world of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new ESG requirements, drawing parallels to the impact that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) had on financial reporting. As market regulators emphasize the importance of adopting ESG frameworks, companies are recognizing the need to streamline their financial reporting and comply with SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) control requirements.

This webinar will explore the latest updates from the SEC, including the recently introduced Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other relevant frameworks. Our expert panel will provide valuable insights on how to effectively prepare and integrate existing frameworks and guidelines to meet the evolving regulatory landscape. We will discuss the implications of these changes on financial reporting, internal controls, and overall corporate governance.

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.
