73 2014 - Corporate Role Dynamics

Instructor: Lynn Fountain
Description:
Corporate Roles and responsibilities relating to achievement of objectives continue to evolve and change. In years past, we would consider very specific roles for governance issues, risk issues, financial issues, compliance issues and operational issues. In today’s global economy and in an era of requirements of transparency of information, organizations must evolve their stereotypical roles and learn how to effectively manage a multitude of responsibilities outside the typical political barriers.
Evolving roles of management, internal and external auditors and board members create continued complexity in relationships, dynamics and independence protocols within organizations. Requirements for transparent communication and disclosure of financial and operational issues is now on regulatory radars, yet the concept can still create unique dynamics within typical corporate roles.
Why Should you Attend:
As legislation continues to evolve regarding financial reporting compliance, internal control requirements, legal exposure and shareholder expectations; corporations find that many professionals’ typical roles begin to overlap and converge. Organizational dynamics must learn to change and adjust to allow professionals across all disciplines to effectively work together and manage the multiple risks their organizations face. This concept is easier said than done. In a world where we have pre-defined expectations for CEOs, CFOs, Legal, Audit and Compliance professionals, the overlap of focus by each of these groups on the same issue can cause tension and conflict.
