Because of the focus by regulators and stakeholders in how businesses are managed this webinar is a must. This focus has resulted in renewed attention by auditors on how to better judge the impact of culture on business practices and on risk and controls. While still in its infancy, some audit teams are starting to review and opine on business culture. If you are an auditor this webinar will provide insights on how best to understand and review a business culture. For all others attendance will help understand and prepare you for the first and subsequent audits of your business culture.
Topic Background
There is a renewed focus by internal audit, and certain business regulators, on the risks associated with organizational culture. These risks are translating into a desire for internal auditors to complete audits of culture. This is a difficult task and many auditors are not properly prepared to complete such an audit. This webinar will help even the most experienced auditor or business leader understand what organizational culture is and how an audit could be completed so that value is added to the business and to the audit team that completes such an engagement.
