Session Abstract:

Welcome to fall. Sad to say right?

Don't worry, your friends at the Chicago West Chapter of the IIA will bring you some relevant topics in this multi-day, multi-topic training event to make your transition to the new season a treat and not a trick.

At the end of the three day event, the audience will learn:

• IT General Controls ("ITGCs") concepts and linkages to audits, financial reporting, and relevant case studies.
• Member spotlight discussions relevant to auditing, Quality Assurance and Improgram Programs ("QAIRs"), and the new Standards ("Global Internal Audit Standards")
• Second installment/series continuation of "Hallmarks of Effective Compliance, not just Greeting Cards", on awarenss and relevant regulator expectations with conducting effective investigations.
• Considerations how Internal Audit may support or supplement ITGCs and investigations through cross-functional collaboration, as applicable.
