Stop Auditing Useless Controls
Description
Sometimes we test controls that just don’t matter. Designing effective internal controls can be a challenge, especially with the current pace of change. A well-designed internal control system requires us to use judgment when assessing control effectiveness, and we need to understand when a control does not address the risks so we don’t waste time.
In this presentation, we will:
- Cover the use of an effective internal control framework
- Discuss good internal control design
- Review control design issue writing
