This webinar gives CPAs a practical look at designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal controls. While many organizations are able to build a solid control framework, too often, the execution falls short’especially when it comes to testing, monitoring, and keeping controls up to date. That weakens the entire structure. We’ll walk through proven strategies to ensure controls aren’t just created, but successfully embedded into day-to-day operations. You’ll receive a set of customizable checklists to help maintain and improve your organization's policies and procedures. Most importantly, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of why internal controls must evolve alongside changes in business tools and processes’and how to keep yours responsive, relevant, and effective.
