Managing the Merger of Cybersecurity and Accounting Controls
May 7, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT
Compliance and financial reporting teams have spent decades refining their approach to internal controls—but the growing intersection of IT and finance has introduced new risks and challenges.
As cyber threats escalate and regulatory expectations increase – including data privacy laws – internal audit teams must now evaluate cybersecurity risks as part of their internal control environment, which impacts finance teams and others across the organization.
This session will unpack the rising need for “internal cybersecurity controls” and how compliance teams can effectively design, test, and document them. Gain insights into the challenges posed by cybersecurity controls, how auditors assess them, and what organizations can do to strengthen their approach.
