Description

Navigating the Storm: Crisis Management for Resilient Firms
Whether it is changes in the market, a global pandemic or loss of a supplier, at some point, most organizations will face a crisis. How you respond can make or break your organization. This intensive seminar on crisis management and business continuity planning will equip you with the knowledge and skills to manage crises confidently and ensure that your organization stays resilient. Resilient organizations recover faster from crises. Learn what successful organizations do. Failing to plan for the next crisis is planning to fail.

Proven Strategies for Effective Fraud Detection and Prevention
Fraud impacts over 80% of all organizations, costing over $10 billion annually. Do you aim to fortify your organization, or your client's, against fraud risks? We address how to instill a robust anti-fraud culture and give you the tools needed to proactively prevent, detect and manage fraudulent activities. Prevention is vital for success. Do not wait to protect the organization.

CFO or Detective? A Guide to Conducting Effective Investigations
CFOs are on the front line of managing risk within the organization, often including investigations into suspected theft or fraud. Fraud investigations are not accounting audits. Many lack the training needed to conduct a fair and legal investigation. This course will provide the essential knowledge and skill to conduct successful internal investigations. The goal is to ensure that when a case is referred to law enforcement, or results in other legal action, the findings will be admissible and robust. How do you respect the rights of all parties involved, preserve evidence, use proper surveillance, and distinguish between company materials and individual property? Proper investigations are intricate. Be aware of the risk to the organization and to the investigating team. The goal is to lead and plan internal investigations with confidence and legal integrity. Be aware and be prepared.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: Practical Applications for Finance
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are being deployed in organizations large and small at a rapidly increasing rate. Your organization is testing, deploying and refining AI-powered applications across a variety of departments and business functions. Why should this matter to accounting, internal audit, finance and cyber professionals? Should our teams be testing and deploying also? How and why can AI be used in accounting and auditing?

During this interactive session, we will demonstrate and describe the differences between chat-based AI search tools and more robust AI-powered applications, e.g., an app to help prioritize and dispatch IT help desk tickets. The session will include example policies for responsible and ethical AI and resources to help curious professionals learn more about these subjects. These technologies are powerful and quite capable: They are not without risk. With great power comes great responsibility. These technologies can also be misused (accidentally or intentionally) to destroy value instead of creating it.
