Online Webinar 2019 - How to Assess Risks and Evaluate Controls

Overview
Every organization is set up to accomplish its primary business objective. Whether it is a “for-profit” organization or a “not-for-profit” organization, there is always a primary business objective. And whenever there is an objective, there is always the risk that the objective will not be achieved.
Management has the responsibility to assess risks and establish controls to ensure that business objectives are achieved. Internal Audit has the responsibility to evaluate those controls to determine if they are adequate and effective.
