SUMMARY:SQMS 1—What’s Next: Firm Viewpoints and Plans on Monitoring & Remediation
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will let you hear how firms are putting Monitoring & Remediation into motion under SQMS 1: what they’re monitoring\, when they are monitoring\, how they’re monitoring\, and how they are reporting internally.  You will also hear from global subject matter experts on how firms are evaluating findings and deficiencies. We’ll share practical examples of how firms are structuring\, executing and managing their monitoring to support the annual evaluation.    \n\n\n\nPanelists will include subject matter experts and firms who will provide local and global perspective for firms from sole practitioners to larger firms.  You will also get the opportunity to pose questions on what’s working and not working right now as they operationalize Monitoring & Remediation.  \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify core components of an effective SQMS 1 Monitoring & Remediation program\, including what to monitor\, timing/cadence\, roles/responsibilities\, and internal reporting expectations \n\n\n\nDifferentiate firm approaches to designing risk-aligned monitoring plans\, including selecting monitoring procedures and determining sampling strategies appropriate to firm size and engagement profile \n\n\n\nEvaluate how firms assess monitoring results to determine when issues rise to the level of findings or deficiencies\, including considerations for severity\, pervasiveness\, and root cause \n\n\n\nApply practical methods for documenting and managing remediation to closure\, so monitoring outcomes support annual evaluation and internal governance \n\n\n\n\nWho should attend: Designed for firms preparing to launch (or refine) their monitoring cycle\, this session provides examples of firms approaches such as defining a monitoring plan aligned to quality risks\, selecting procedures and samples\, capturing results consistently\, and building a remediation process that proves closure.

SUMMARY:The power of nearshore outsourcing for the midmarket
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\n\n\nAs rising economic uncertainty pushes 87% of organizations to prioritize cost reduction\, more than 40% of midmarket companies are turning to Latin America to scale smarter\, modernize operations\, and build more resilient operating models. With highly skilled talent\, time zone alignment\, cultural compatibility\, and strong digital capabilities\, the region is helping midmarket organizations achieve enterprise-level sophistication and agility – without the complexity of traditional offshoring models.  \n\n\n\nJoin Auxis and Grant Thornton for an executive discussion on how midmarket leaders are using nearshoring to transform Finance\, Accounting\, HR\, IT\, customer support\, and other back-office functions. We’ll explore why Latin America has emerged as a strategic complement to Asia-based operations – improving service levels\, accelerating AI and automation\, and supporting more complex\, high-touch operations.  \n\n\n\nAttendees will leave with actionable insights into the Latin America shared services and outsourcing landscape and the nearshoring strategies helping the midmarket unlock long-term value.  \n\n\n\nWebcast details\n\n\n\nDate and time \n\n\n\nWednesday\, June 24\, 20262:00 PM ET – 3:00 PM ET \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE credits \n\n\n\n1 \n\n\n\nLearning objectives \n\n\n\n\nIdentify why nearshoring adoption is expanding from large enterprises to the midmarket.\n\n\n\nDifferentiate top Latin American destinations — including Colombia\, Costa Rica\, Mexico\, and others — along with the advantages and trade-offs of each.\n\n\n\nDefine the pros and cons of building a captive nearshore operation versus outsourcing.\n\n\n\nDescribe expected cost savings and business benefits associated with nearshore delivery.\n\n\n\nExplain how companies are self-funding automation and AI initiatives through nearshore labor savings.\n\n\n\nRecognize functions and processes best suited for nearshore delivery\, including Finance & Accounting\, HR\, IT Operations\, Automation & AI\, and Customer Support.\n\n\n\nApply lessons learned and best practices for building and scaling a successful nearshoring program.
