Whether your institution’s internal audit function is run in-house or is outsourced, this timely conference will help you understand what internal audit management methods you can use to avoid unnecessary regulatory scrutiny and effectively manage your institution’s operational and accounting risks in these trying times.

It’s been five years since the regulators issued the Interagency Policy Statement on the Internal Audit Function and its Outsourcing, and a lot has happened during this time. Throughout the remainder of 2008 your financial institution will undoubtedly face profit challenges and higher risks, so now is the time to ensure that your risk assessments are updated and you are prepared for increasing scrutiny from your regulators.

In this audio conference we cover the key areas that your board, senior management and internal audit functions need to have in place to ensure they are carrying out their responsibilities and are consistent with regulatory guidance on the internal audit function and its outsourcing.

We cover such critical issues as:

• Compliance with statutory requirements for internal audit and reporting
• Determining the adequacy of your written policies relative to the internal audit function
• Evaluating the competence of those who manage and perform internal audit functions (including outsourced internal audit functions)
• Evaluating board oversight and independence of internal audit function
• Determining whether your internal risk assessment processes are adequate
• Determining adequacy and reliability of internal audit work
• Determining the adequacy of systems established by the board and management to monitor and assess the internal audit function
• And much more!

Plus, 30-minutes after the presentation will be set aside for an interactive Q&A session. Listen in and get the chance to ask your specific questions.
