SUMMARY:From Guidance to Action: Exploring Practical ERM
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nEnterprise risk management (ERM) too often gets treated as a compliance exercise rather than a capability that helps organizations make better choices\, execute strategy\, and create and protect value. Grounded in The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s article on ERM\, co-authored with Crowe specialists\, this session will help attendees turn concepts into actionable ERM approaches. Specialists will explore how ERM can become more practical\, decision-oriented\, and connected to the business by linking risk management more directly to strategy\, governance\, and performance. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn what stronger ERM looks like in practice\, including the disciplines\, behaviors\, and operating approaches that make risk more useful to leaders and boards. The session will also highlight lessons from organizations at different stages of ERM maturity and how those lessons can help teams move beyond check-the-box activity toward more effective\, value-focused risk management. \n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify ERM practices and operating disciplines that strengthen governance and support board oversight\n\n\n\nEvaluate how ERM can shift from a compliance-centered activity to a capability that supports better decisions and business value\n\n\n\nExplain how ERM can make risk more visible and actionable in support of strategy execution and performance\n\n\n\n\nContinuing professional education\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nProgram level: Overview \n\n\n\nAdvance preparation: None \n\n\n\nDelivery method: Webinar (group internet based) \n\n\n\nField of study: Specialized knowledge \n\n\n\nThis session is recommended for 1.0 hour of CPE credit. \n\n\n\nNote: All participants MUST be logged into the webinar INDIVIDUALLY to receive CPE credit. CPE credit will only be granted in the name of the individual logged into the LIVE presentation. Crowe is unable to grant CPE credit for groups viewing the webinar or for viewing on-demand recordings of the webinar. \n\n\n\nThere is no registration fee for participating in this webinar; therefore\, there is no cancellation fee. \n\n\n\nAdditional CPE information

SUMMARY:How Global Regulatory Shifts and AI are Reshaping Tax and Compliance
DESCRIPTION:In an environment defined by speed and uncertainty\, the role of compliance is changing. Trade policy shifts\, inflation pressure\, and regulatory expansion are forcing faster decisions with less margin for error.

But how do systems and processes keep pace? \n\n\n\nJoin the Avalara team as they deep dive into how AI is becoming the enabling layer\, allowing organizations to embed compliance into operational workflows\, interpret data as it’s created\, and respond to change without constant reconfiguration. Specifically\, we will cover: \n\n\n\n\nHow AI differs from traditional automation\n\n\n\nAn overview of the government and regulatory forces shaping this shift\n\n\n\nA readiness framework for moving from automation to intelligence.\n\n\n\nHow to strategically approach AI tax compliance\n\n\n\n\nCan’t attend live?

SUMMARY:Partnering third-party risk management with enterprise resilience
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nVendors no longer exist in isolation. One vendor’s lack of availability can have a cascading effect across your business\, your customers\, and those they serve. The integrity of your organization’s promises rests on your ability to continue meeting your contractual obligations\, even in the face of third-party outages. Resilience is an increasingly hot topic in the regulatory space\, between ISO 22301 and the broadening impacts of DORA regulations\, and these standards have implications\, not only for resilience\, but for our vendor management teams as well. Third-party risk management (TPRM) and resilience functions often operate in silos with minimal visibility into the other group’s processes and the data each group collects. This presents an opportunity for strengthening your vendor stance in the face of business disruptions. \n\n\n\nDuring this presentation\, attendees will gain practical insights into breaking down silos\, making smarter risk decisions\, and building a unified strategy that safeguards both performance and resilience. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\n Explain the purposes of third-party risk management (TPRM) and enterprise resilience\n\n\n\nList the benefits to your company if a partnership with business continuity was integrated into your TPRM process.\n\n\n\nApply high-level improvement strategies to your vendor and resilience models to strengthen your resilience posture.\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: Management Services \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:A Decade of FCPA Enforcement: Lessons for Corporate Counsel
DESCRIPTION:A decade after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued the Yates memorandum\, individual accountability and corporate cooperation have moved from policy concepts to decisive enforcement tools. Based on an analysis of 99 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement actions resolved between 2015 and 2025\, this webinar examines what DOJ enforcement outcomes over the past decade reveal about how companies are evaluated\, and why some fare better than others. \n\n\n\nThis session of the Forensics Institute is designed for in‑house counsel\, compliance leaders\, and external legal advisers who are responsible for navigating investigations\, disclosure decisions\, and remediation under real‑world pressure. We’ll explore how bribery schemes are commonly structured\, where corruption risks often emerge\, and how organizational responses influence resolution types\, penalty reductions\, and enforcement credit. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, the webinar will address how anti‑bribery and anti‑corruption (ABAC) enforcement is currently being handled in Europe\, including how multinational organizations are navigating evolving expectations amid recent shifts in FCPA enforcement posture. \n\n\n\nThe discussion will also focus on what the data shows the DOJ values\, including timely internal investigations\, credible cooperation\, disciplined remediation\, and well‑reasoned disclosure decisions. Gain a clearer understanding of how enforcement authorities assess corporate conduct\, and how global enforcement dynamics like developments in Europe may influence compliance strategy and risk management decisions going forward. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nInterpret enforcement trends from 2015 to 2025\, highlighting how cooperation‑based resolutions have reshaped outcomes in the wake of the Yates memorandum.\n\n\n\nRecognize frequent bribery schemes and risk concentrations across industries and geographies cited in recent enforcement actions.\n\n\n\nExplain how investigation\, disclosure\, and remediation decisions may directly affect enforcement credit\, penalties\, and resolution strategy.\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information\n\n\n\n1.00 CPE Credit(s) (pending approval)\n\n\n\nOne CPE credit (pending approval) in the Specialized Knowledge field of study may be awarded upon verification of participant attendance during live broadcast. \n\n\n\nIf you have concerns or would like information regarding program cancellation policies or CPE credit\, contact us at cpecompliance@us.forvismazars.com.

SUMMARY:Closing the Gap: Streamlining Accrued & Prepaid Expense Accounting for an Audit-Ready Close
DESCRIPTION:Learning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nMaster Prepaid Management: Define the standard treatment of prepaids and identify the functional requirements—such as automated amortization schedules and single-click journal entries—needed to avoid common errors and manual rollforward headaches.\n\n\n\nFormalize Accrual Processes: Establish a structured\, document-driven approach to finding unbilled expenses\, moving away from informal processes like flux analysis and “best guess” estimates to mitigate the high-risk judgment involved in accruals.\n\n\n\nImplement the Document-to-Close Strategy: Utilize invoices or contracts as the source of truth to connect procurement and other teams executing purchases for the business with accounts payable\, ensuring expected schedules are established\, and documentation is centralized to eliminate “blind approvals”.\n\n\n\nTransform Close with Automation: Apply the principles of a digital subledger to provide auditors with direct access to a clear audit trail\, shifting time from preparation and manual reconciliation toward strategic financial analysis.

SUMMARY:From Manual to Agentic: How AI Transforms Reconciliations Across the Balance Sheet
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be real: “we reconcile in Excel and it takes forever” is not a competitive strategy. \n\n\n\nMost finance teams have automated something — but\, according to PwC research\, only 8% say their data processes are mostly automated. Meanwhile\, 21% spend more time reconciling data than analyzing it. That’s time your team isn’t getting back. \n\n\n\nThis session is your playbook for meaningful change. We’re going beyond basic automation to show you how AI Agents transform reconciliations from a month-end bottleneck into a foundation for strategic finance — with the governance\, auditability\, and controls your team requires. \n\n\n\nJoin FloQast and PwC to explore what it looks like when AI doesn’t just move data\, but understands your process. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn \n\n\n\n‍A framework for getting started — practical prioritization so you’re confident in the possibilities \n\n\n\nWhere AI is actually making an impact — not the hype version\, the one with 5 days shaved off the rec process and 98% of 50k transactions matched in seconds \n\n\n\nHow to think about your AI maturity — from manual and disconnected to autonomous and controlled\, and where you realistically sit today \n\n\n\nThe full-cycle view — upstream data prep\, journal entry generation\, variance analysis\, and downstream audit readiness\, all connected \n\n\n\nHow our agentic AI shows its work — every step documented\, every decision traceable\, your name on the line and your back covered
