SUMMARY:2026 Higher Education Trends
DESCRIPTION:Key takeaways \n\n\n\nAs enrollment drops and skepticism about value rises\, higher education’s business model and overall return on investment are facing heightened scrutiny.

SUMMARY:The boardroom-ready CISO
DESCRIPTION:Event overview\n\n\n\nIn today’s digital‑first environment\, the modern chief information security officer (CISO) must serve not only as a technical leader but as a strategic adviser to senior management and the board. As cyberthreats escalate and regulatory expectations rise\, boards require clear\, business‑aligned insights—not technical jargon—to fulfill their oversight responsibilities. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 18\, 2026\, at 1 p.m. EDT\, for a live webinar that explores how to strengthen cybersecurity governance by reframing the CISO‑board relationship. A former board member will share guidance on building a governance blueprint that clarifies role\, accountability and reporting expectations. Our presenters will also discuss how to design reporting frameworks that translate technical metrics into outcome‑oriented narratives that highlight resilience\, risk reduction and organizational value. \n\n\n\nYou will leave with practical strategies to help your board prepare for cybersecurity incidents and better understand its oversight role—positioning cybersecurity not as a cost center but as a critical enabler of enterprise resilience and growth.

SUMMARY:How Surescripts Scaled with NetSuite Planning and Budgeting (NSPB)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a case-study discussion on how Surescripts modernized its financial planning and reporting environment through the implementation of NetSuite Planning and Budgeting (NSPB) within a unified NetSuite ecosystem.  \n\n\n\nConfronted with legacy consolidation tools that required significant maintenance and limited planning agility\, Surescripts transitioned to an integrated platform connecting ERP\, planning\, forecasting\, workforce modeling\, and reporting.

SUMMARY:Navigating the new frontier of AI-enabled fraud
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nAs Artificial Intelligence rapidly reshapes core business processes\, it presents a dual-use dilemma: increasing operational efficiency while simultaneously empowering fraudsters with sophisticated\, large-scale techniques. This webinar explores the evolving risk landscape\, where internal audit faces a critical imperative to assess emerging threats. \n\n\n\nThrough a detailed anatomy of an eight-figure loss\, we will analyze the “7 components of sophisticated attacks\,” including deepfakes\, “code of silence” NDAs\, and the spoofing of legitimate tools like DocuSign. We will also examine current industry data revealing a significant readiness gap\, where 88% of leaders cite AI-powered phishing as a primary concern\, yet only 36% feel prepared to combat it. \n\n\n\nAttendees will gain a strategic roadmap for mitigation\, focusing on bespoke simulations for high-risk groups\, “secondary channel” verification protocols\, and AI-enhanced technical controls. Join us to learn how internal audit can move beyond assessing control weaknesses to leading AI-related incident investigations and organizational alignment. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\n Evaluate the new AI threat landscape: Deconstruct the “dual-use dilemma” in which AI increases efficiency and enables sophisticated attack vectors\, such as deepfakes\, fingerprinting\, and the “code of silence”.\n\n\n\nAnalyze real-world Breach Anatomy: Examine case studies of eight-figure losses to identify missed opportunities where professional curiosity and stakeholder involvement could have disrupted the attack chain.\n\n\n\nAddress the readiness and awareness gap: Identify critical barriers to defense\, such as a lack of staff expertise\, and understand why greater technical familiarity often leads to a higher perceived risk.\n\n\n\nImplement a strategic mitigation roadmap: Deploy a multi-layered defense strategy\, including bespoke simulations\, “secondary channel” verification protocols\, and AI-enhanced technical controls.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 NASBA CPE upon live viewing and participation in polls. CPEs not offered for 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:Pre-IPO masterclass: A multi-disciplinary roadmap to public readiness
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nThe transition from a private entity to a public company is a rigorous\, multi-year transformation that extends far beyond the final filing. Successfully navigating this journey requires a synchronized effort across the enterprise\, demanding heightened maturity from accounting\, internal audit\, IT infrastructure\, and corporate governance. This 90-minute masterclass provides a comprehensive blueprint for managing this cross-functional evolution\, moving beyond basic compliance to address the operational realities of being a public company. \n\n\n\nWe will break down the essential pillars of readiness\, focusing on how to build a scalable infrastructure that satisfies the internal and external demands of auditors\, legal counsel\, and future shareholders. Participants will explore the interdependencies between financial reporting accuracy\, robust IT general controls\, and executive accountability. The session concludes with a 30-minute fireside chat featuring leaders who have managed this multidisciplinary shift firsthand. They will share practical insights on breaking down departmental silos\, replacing fragmented manual workflows with a centralized risk environment\, and establishing the sustainable governance framework required to thrive in the public eye. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\n Analyze the multi-disciplinary requirements of the IPO journey\, identifying the critical touchpoints between accounting\, internal audit\, legal\, and IT.\n\n\n\nImplement a sustainable compliance infrastructure designed to mitigate enterprise risk and support the transition from private to public internal control standards.\n\n\n\nExecute a strategic roadmap for establishing public-grade governance and internal control frameworks well in advance of the S-1 filing.\n\n\n\nEvaluate how a connected risk platform replaces inefficient\, disconnected spreadsheets to create a single source of truth for all stakeholders in the IPO process.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1.5 CPE upon live viewing and participation.

SUMMARY:Reimagining GRC: The strategic role of control self-assessment in modern governance
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nThe 2024 update to the UK Corporate Governance Code\, and Provision 29 specifically\, represents a marked shift to explicit accountability\, requiring boards to provide a formal declaration on the effectiveness of material controls. \n\n\n\nWith this comes a demand for reliable\, regular and transparent reporting on controls\, to provide the board with the comfort and confidence needed to make a declaration. This heightened expectation elevates the role for controls self assessment. A structured\, repeatable and scalable mechanism for gathering the assurance\, insights and documentation needed to support the board’s declaration. However\, the role of controls self assessment extends far beyond this and once established\, a mature CSA becomes a powerful enabler across the broader governance\, risk and controls landscape. \n\n\n\nThis 60-minute thought leadership webinar provides insights on how to develop and evolve your control self-assessment methodology and process. We will also showcase how CSA insights can be used across the broader governance\, risk and control ecosystem. Attendees will earn how to transform controls self assessment from a periodic compliance exercise into a data-driven organisation-wide capability that enhances transparency\, confidence and decision making. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand how Provision 29 reshapes governance expectations: Gain clarity on why the shift to a formal board declaration increases the need for consistent\, transparent and well‑evidenced control reporting\, and how CSA provides the foundation for a credible evidence base behind that declaration.\n\n\n\nLearn how to design and enhance a modern CSA framework: Explore practical ways to build a structured and scalable CSA process\, including defining scope\, setting reliable assessment criteria\, embedding effective evidence capture\, and streamlining workflows to minimise administrative burden.\n\n\n\nDiscover how CSA drives value across the wider GRC ecosystem: Understand how CSA strengthens first‑line ownership\, informs targeted assurance planning\, highlights emerging control weaknesses\, and generates actionable data and insights that enable organisations to monitor control trends and improve decision‑making.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nField of study: Specialized Knowledge \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:Current Enforcement Trends for Tracking Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Investigations\, enforcement actions\, and lawsuits focused on the use of website and mobile app tracking technologies are accelerating globally—specifically related to consent\, notice\, data sharing\, and sensitive data collection. As tracking stacks become more complex with the use of pixels\, software development kits (SDKs)\, tags\, session replays\, analytics\, and advertising identifiers\, organizations are increasingly expected to demonstrate a clear technical understanding of what data is collected\, where it is sent\, and how controls are implemented and monitored. \n\n\n\nIn this webcast\, presented by BDO USA and ObservePoint\, we will review current enforcement trends affecting tracking technologies and break down what these developments mean in practice for privacy\, legal\, compliance\, and digital teams. The session will connect emerging regulatory expectations with real-world response approaches—such as maturing consent and preference management\, strengthening vendor oversight\, validating tracking behavior through technical testing\, and improving governance and documentation to withstand scrutiny. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to help assess risk\, prioritize remediation\, and prepare for regulator or plaintiff inquiries. \n\n\n\n1.0 CPE Credit in the field of Specialized Knowledge (SK) \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\nIdentify major enforcement themes related to tracking technologies (websites and mobile apps)\, including common allegations tied to consent\, notice\, data sharing\, and cross-border data transfers.\n\n\n\nExplain the technical fundamentals of common tracking tools (e.g.\, pixels\, SDKs\, tags\, session replays) and evaluate how these technologies impact compliance risk through data mapping and validation/testing approaches.\n\n\n\nApply practical response strategies to reduce exposure and improve readiness—such as strengthening consent and cookie governance\, enhancing vendor/third-party controls\, and improving documentation and incident/inquiry response playbooks.\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. You will receive an email notification following the program if you completed the necessary polls and qualified for CPE credit. This email will include instructions on how to access your CPE certificate. \n\n\n\nPlease Note: Per BDO USA’s CPE Compliance policy\, CPE will not be issued for programs that fail to comply with the NASBA Standards\, or to individuals who do not meet the attendance requirements.
