Why You Should Attend:
Who Should Attend:
4 Topical Tracks:
IT/Data Security
Information security, privacy and protection are at the top of the agenda for all high-powered organizations of the 21st century. Linking your IS and IT risk management practices to an overarching GRC program can insure that IT is able to support the current and future needs of other business units. The IT GRC track will analyze the integration of IT into your GRC processes, metrics and measurements techniques and the compliance concerns that need to be addressed from an IT and IS
Enterprise Risk Management
The ERM track will provide insight into the importance of a comprehensive framework for managing, mitigating and using risk to your advantage. Sessions within this track will address the creation of a risk management culture, as well as the analysis of specific events and circumstances that need to be addressed within corporate ERM. Topics of discussion include reporting risk to your board, analyzing risk appetite and establishing metrics and measurements for ERM.
Audit Management
In the wake of large corporate performance disasters, the financial crisis and subsequent reforms, corporate boards of directors (BODs) have come under growing scrutiny and are being held accountable for their oversight responsibilities. BODs, in turn, are relying more heavily on internal audit departments to ensure that corporate systems are functioning to protect them from the types of scandal, fraud and misrepresentation that have damaged many companies over the past decade. As a result, these departments are undergoing a quick transformation from their traditional role as backward-looking investigators into a process-oriented, forward-looking group with international perspective that can provide education, assurance and insight beyond their traditional annual auditing plans. Topics of discussion addressed in the Audit Track include
Corporate Governance
The Governance track focuses on high-level issues and provides the practical strategies and tools you’ll need to deal with them. Simply put, both your leaders will be better equipped to successfully keep pace with the constantly changing environment in which you operate. Some participants update and refine their current practices. The governance structure specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation (such as the board of directors, managers, shareholders, creditors, auditors, regulators, and other stakeholders) and specifies the rules and procedures for making decisions in corporate affairs. Governance provides the structure through which corporations set and pursue their objectives, while reflecting the context of the social, regulatory and market environment.
