SUMMARY:Closing the AI Governance Gap Before It’s Too Late
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\n\n\n\nThe governance frameworks that got you here weren’t built for AI. \n\n\n\nTraditional governance was built for systems that do the same thing every time. AI doesn’t work that way. Today’s AI systems—including a growing number of agentic tools now entering finance\, audit\, and compliance workflows—operate at machine scale but with human unpredictability. They don’t process every transaction the same way. They produce probabilistic outputs\, not deterministic ones. And unlike the machines your current controls were built for\, they can be wrong in ways that are difficult to detect and costly to unwind. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Workiva and KPMG will address what’s changed\, what’s at stake\, and what practitioners can do to ramp up AI governance right now. \n\n\n\nDrawing on KPMG’s Trusted AI framework\, COSO’s emerging GenAI guidance\, and Workiva’s practitioner research\, this session gives audit and risk professionals a clear\, practical path from AI adoption to AI accountability. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with a governance framework you can apply immediately—and the language to bring leadership with you. \n\n\n\nAfter this webinar\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the primary risks of ungoverned AI use—including shadow AI\, data leakage\, and hallucination liability\n\n\n\nExplain why AI governance is a business-wide imperative\, not solely a technology or compliance function\n\n\n\nDistinguish between the appropriate roles of AI and human judgment in a risk context\, including defining escalation triggers and maintaining the “human in the loop”\n\n\n\nEvaluate your organization’s AI governance maturity\, and identify priority actions to advance from current state toward assurance-ready governance\n\n\n\n\nWorkiva offers one complimentary CPE credit for this webinar.

SUMMARY:Defining Design Risk Throughout Traditional Architecture Design Phases
DESCRIPTION:A traditional architectural design process can contribute to significant financial exposure for organizations\, whether building new facilities\, expanding operations\, or undertaking major renovations.  \n\n\n\nDecisions made throughout the design process can impact the final cost of a project\, and allowing a project design scope to expand beyond the original design program can cause projects to exceed budget targets. \n\n\n\nEffective management of the design process\, alongside thorough documentation of all decisions\, ensures that capital projects are executed efficiently and transparently by confirming alignment with budgetary objectives\, clearly delineating project scopes\, facilitating timely entitlement approvals\, and producing comprehensive bid documents. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, managing your design risk promotes accountability and provides valuable insights for future projects.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar delivers a clear yet exhaustive overview of prevalent risks within the design process\, providing participants with practical frameworks\, tools\, and strategies to effectively identify and mitigate design risks.  \n\n\n\nFor more information regarding administrative policies such as complaint and refund policies\, please email learning@bakertilly.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaker Tilly is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.

SUMMARY:Governing the Deal: Board Oversight Across the M&A Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:Boards play a pivotal role in shaping transaction strategy and outcomes\, but effective oversight looks very different from management execution.  From strategic alignment and target identification to deal terms\, decision skepticism and discipline\, risk identification\, and post close integration\, boards must govern the entire transaction lifecycle\, not just the deal approval. \n\n\n\nThis session examines the board’s governance responsibilities across M&A strategy formulation and target identification through diligence\, negotiation\, approval\, and integration oversight. We will clearly distinguish management’s role in execution from the board’s role to challenge\, oversee\, and maintain accountability\, and explore how boards can govern effectively under tight timelines and incomplete or changing information.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll also address common process breakdowns (and how boards can prevent them)\, leading practices for documentation and communications\, and what “good oversight” looks like across buy-side and sell-side transactions. \n\n\n\nThe session also addresses the external support boards rely on—including financial\, legal\, regulatory\, and risk advisors—and how directors’ engagement can protect independence\, manage conflicts\, and support high quality decisions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\nExplain the board’s oversight role across the M&A lifecycle—from strategy and target selection through diligence\, approval\, and post close integration—distinct from management execution.\n\n\n\nIdentify the critical questions boards should ask management and advisors to test strategic rationale\, value creation\, risk exposure\, and execution readiness under tight timelines.\n\n\n\nRecognize governance and risk considerations that can materially affect deal outcomes\, including conflicts of interest\, disclosure and communications\, cyber and data risk and synergies\, regulatory scrutiny\, and culture and talent issues.\n\n\n\nApply leading practices for overseeing advisors\, strengthening decision discipline\, and governing post close integration through clear accountability\, documentation\, and KPI based oversight.\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information\n\n\n\nDelivery: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced Prep: None \n\n\n\nProgram Level: Basic \n\n\n\nCost: There is no fee to attend this session \n\n\n\nInformation about CPE Eligibility\n\n\n\nTo receive CPE credit for participation in a BDO webcast program\, you must respond to the occasional polls that appear throughout the program and be in attendance for a minimum of 50 minutes.

SUMMARY:Consumer sector enterprise business planning in volatile markets
DESCRIPTION:Consumer and retail companies today are contending with persistent disruption\, changing demographics and shifting consumer demands.
