SUMMARY:The untapped edge: Closing the AI activation gap
DESCRIPTION:Key takeaways \n\n\n\nDeloitte’s 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report reveals a critical finding: Organizations have unprecedented artificial intelligence (AI) access\, yet most struggle to activate it at scale. In this discussion\, Deloitte and Snowflake leaders unpack why data readiness remains the top barrier and how governance must evolve for agentic AI. We’ll discuss: \n\n\n\nGoverned data foundations \n\n\n\nResearch showing why 85% plan AI agents\, yet only 20% have mature governance—organizations achieving transformation versus those stalled in pilots

SUMMARY:Modernising control self‑assessment in EMEA: From manual burden to intelligent assurance
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nControl self‑assessment (CSA) is a priority across EMEA as organisations face rising non‑financial regulatory expectations\, including the UK Corporate Governance Code and the EU Cyber Resilience Act. Yet\, most companies still rely on manual\, spreadsheet‑driven CSA processes that create operational friction\, inconsistent control execution\, and audit fatigue for control owners. This webinar brings together Bekaert’s ERM & Internal Control representative and the Risk Leader at TriFinance Advisory Services Belgium to explore how modern CSA technology can reduce manual workload\, strengthen governance\, and help organisations meet evolving regulatory expectations. The session will provide practical insights into shifting CSA from a compliance exercise to a scalable\, data‑driven assurance framework. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the limitations of traditional CSA approaches and why manual data collection and attestations create operational burden and inconsistent control execution.\n\n\n\nRecognise the regulatory drivers in EMEA\, including corporate governance and cybersecurity requirements\, that are accelerating the need for modernised CSA capabilities.\n\n\n\nIdentify the core components of an effective\, technology‑enabled CSA framework\, including automation\, workflow standardisation\, and real‑time reporting\n\n\n\nGain actionable guidance on selecting and implementing modern GRC tools to futureproof CSA and strengthen overall internal control maturity.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Auditing \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.

SUMMARY:US Expansion Playbook: Choosing the Right US Entity
DESCRIPTION:Forvis Mazars\, in collaboration with Nelson Mullins\, invites you to a webinar focused on helping foreign companies navigate the primary legal and tax decisions involved in expanding into the United States.

SUMMARY:From Manual to Strategic: How AI Is Transforming Finance and Accounting Operations
DESCRIPTION:The challenge in AP is not a lack of automation opportunities. It is the lack of a framework for deciding which ones actually improve control. Even now\, 73% of teams are still not fully automated\, and only 49% feel confident their current systems meet audit and data-retention standards. Without a framework\, teams often default to one-off automation that addresses isolated AP tasks while leaving reconciliation issues\, documentation gaps\, and downstream rework in place.  \n\n\n\nThis session will dive into a two-part framework for evaluating agentic AI in AP: where AI can accelerate the close cycle by eliminating the manual reconciliation bottlenecks\, and where it enables net-new control capabilities. Attendees will leave with a practical way to evaluate AI based on two outcomes that matter most.  \n\n\n\n**CPE Eligible** Field of Study: Finance Level: Basic Prerequisite: None Advance Preparation: None required Delivery Method: Group Internet-Based Recommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar. Because there is no charge to register for this webinar\, there are no refunds following registration for this webinar. To be eligible to earn one CPE credit during this webinar\, you must answer at least three polling questions while attending the webinar for a minimum of 50 minutes.  \n\n\n\nControllers Council is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.

SUMMARY:AI-Powered Performance Planning: Eliminating Uncertainty in Financial Planning with AI
DESCRIPTION:Traditional forecasts fail because they rely solely on historical financial trends and disconnected data. While drilling into operations for early indicators is expensive and time-consuming\, modern business demands real-time adaptation. \n\n\n\nAI built from the ground up for financial intelligence—not just bolted on—is the catalyst for this transformation.

SUMMARY:DEMPE Turns Ten (and Is an Insufferable Pre-teen)
DESCRIPTION:Webcast overview\n\n\n\nDEMPE has been a big part of the global transfer pricing landscape for just over a decade.  Even though DEMPE is relevant for most taxpayers\, it remains a mystery after 10 years– with numerous unknowns\, a myriad of\, sometimes wildly\, different perspectives and increasing challenges for taxpayers to effectively manage DEMPE related risk.  KPMG LLP (KPMG) is pleased to invite you to a one-hour TaxWatch Webcast that will explore the evolution of DEMPE and many of the more important (and often controversial) ways to interpret these rules and apply them in your business.The panel will bring varied perspectives on these issues – from an OECD Senior Transfer Pricing Advisor to a law school professor to the views from within the Big 4\, and will discuss topics including following: \n\n\n\n\nWhere does DEMPE actually “fit” into the risk control framework and the overall determination of a transfer price?\n\n\n\nIn situations where some form of a profit split pricing method is appropriate\, what is the right way to consider DEMPE?\n\n\n\nWhat is the “appropriate remuneration” owed to non-IP owners who perform DEMPE functions?\n\n\n\nHow do we reconcile DEMPE with real world economic value?\n\n\n\nIs DEMPE (and particularly the headcount-based profit split theory) accelerating a move to global formulary apportionment?\n\n\n\nIn the context of audits\, what are tax authorities getting right – and what are they getting wrong?\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nAttendees of this webcast will be better able to identify where DEMPE principles fit within the risk control framework and the overall determination of a transfer price\, and analyze strategies to reconcile the theoretical application of DEMPE with real-world economic value and business realities. \n\n\n\nProgram Specifications \n\n\n\nEstimated CPE credit: This program is worth approximately 1 CPE credit.NASBA Delivery Method: Group Internet-BasedTarget Audience: This webcast will be of significant interest to tax leaders with a focus on international tax\, transfer pricing\, and valuation decisions.Field(s) of Study: Taxes – 81The final CPE and Field of Study will be confirmed after delivery of the program.Prerequisites: There are no prerequisite requirements for this course.Advance Preparation: There are no advanced preparation requirements for this course.Program Knowledge Level: Intermediate \n\n\n\nPolicies & Questions \n\n\n\nRefund/cancellation policy: This program is offered free of charge.
