This audio conference has been updated to focus on critical new risks institutions are experiencing during the current economic downturn.
Managing and promoting effective internal audit services can be a daunting task even for a group of internal auditors. But the reality is that many smaller financial institutions don’t have the resources to staff an entire internal audit function. However, even if your institution has limited resources it is crucial that you have a strong internal audit function, since shortchanging the internal audit function can have a significant adverse impact on your regulatory examinations and external audits.
Each financial institution needs at least one qualified person to be the eyes and ears for management and the board on critical internal audit issues. This “can’t miss” audio conference provides an approach to carrying out the important responsibilities of the internal audit function, while focusing on top priorities so that one person can be effective in this important job.
Critical audit management areas covered in this audio conference include:
- Meeting regulatory requirements
- Dealing with expanded responsibilities
- Ensuring adequate scope of audit coverage
- Maintaining effective internal audit programs
- Implementing risk-based audit procedures
- Developing effective audit reports
- Developing workpaper documentation standards
- Establishing effective audit committee communications
