Is your internal audit function prepared to deal with the growing risks you face? No matter how small your institution’s internal audit function may be, this vital audio conference can help you improve the effectiveness of your internal audits at a critical time for financial institutions.

In today’s economic environment, your financial institution must be at the top of its game. Pressure on profits, loan quality concerns, and increased deposit acquisition costs are pressing concerns, and operational risks from professional hackers and fraudsters continue to plague institutions. Regulators are watching how your institution reacts to these difficult times and they stand ready to conduct safety and soundness exams and issue civil money penalties or cease-and-desist orders.

Join this “must attend” audio conference as we cover the key areas that your internal audit function needs to have in place to ensure it is carrying out its intended purpose. We show you how to bring a systematic, disciplined approach to your audit program in order to improve the effectiveness of your risk management, control and governance processes.

We cover such critical issues as:

• Reviewing the specific steps your internal auditor should take to ensure the function is organized the most effective way
• Evaluating a comprehensive checklist of the steps needed to effectively administer a risk-based internal audit function
• Determining what your Audit Committee Charter should include
• Deciding what activities your internal auditors should cover
• Understanding what corporate governance issues your internal auditors should be watching
• Developing and implementing effective audit reports
• Establishing effective Audit Committee communications
• And much more!

Registration Includes:

• Admittance to a 90-minute call for as many people as you can fit in a room with a speakerphone
• Access to the specially created presentation handouts (made available 48 hours in advance) which can be printed and used to train all of your personnel
• Participation in a 30-minute live Q&A sessions with the speaker following the presentation
• Certificates of completion for all attendees
