Anne M. Simmons Presents at September IIA Conference
Fraud and Ethics in the Financial Crisis |
| |
The challenging economic conditions will continue to drive corporate cost-cutting initiatives, with a likelihood that companies will scale back using more extreme measures, even as increased government regulation requires more resources and reporting. This situation will inevitably lead to more pressure on control functions whose budgets and resources have been cut.
During this workshop, we will
- Review the current situation, examine the strategies success companies are deploying to protect themselves
- Discuss the kinds of fraud companies face today, and their obligations to report and combat it
- Analyze the auditor’s role in delivering ethically driven cultures
- Engage in a lively discussion regarding the evolving role of an internal auditor.
Participants will leave the workshop armed with new tools, techniques, and strategies to help protect their firms from fraud and other types of problems related to a lack of ethics. Click here for full article>>

This workshop examines how to manage future risk and uncertainty, while learning to cultivate a clear line of sight onto the cross-impacts of multiple kinds of risk from anywhere in their organizations.

“Profitability and ethics, control
and compliance are not mutually
exclusive. In fact, a commitment
to transparency and accounta-
bility will improve the way an organization operates, and foster
trust between the organization
and all of its constituents.�
