A corporate-wide risk assessment can look overwhelming, but with a template and structured brainstorming among internal auditors, certified fraud examiners and business unit leaders, it becomes manageable. This 60-minute internal audit risk assessment webinar shares a methodology used by the internal audit department of a billion-dollar revenue corporation.
Understanding your company's risk environment is central to an effective internal audit function, and it takes experience and a habit of asking what could go wrong in any control environment. You'll learn the key components of a risk assessment and management program, the template and examples of typical projects by department, and how to brainstorm projects unique to your industry.
The session walks through the steps of the process and how to keep refining audit projects throughout the year.
