SUMMARY:Strategic Workforce Restructuring in Uncertain Markets
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nEconomic uncertainty\, shifting market demands\, and rising labor costs are prompting many organizations to reevaluate their workforce structures.

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: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.
