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:Beyond Skills and Training: Confronting Uncertainty in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive webinar that builds on insights from the Protiviti and London School of Economics GENERATIONS research to explore the most human side of AI at work: fear — what drives it\, how it manifests in the workplace\, and why it can quietly undermine adoption. While organizations are increasingly clear about what AI can do\, many struggle to connect the dots for employees on what AI means for their roles\, skills and future career paths. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, June 10th for a 60-minute discussion where Protiviti Managing Director Matt Duncan will be joined by Dr. Daniel Jolles from The Inclusion Initiative at the London School of Economics.They will cover: \n\n\n\n\nWhere AI change efforts often break down\, and how leaders can better translate AI strategy into day‑to‑day impact on their most important assets\, their people.\n\n\n\nWhat fear signals about trust\, identity and uncertainty — and what the evidence shows actually reduces anxiety while improving performance.\n\n\n\nReal‑world examples of how organizations are addressing fear through manager enablement\, role clarity and transparent communication. \n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify common sources of employee fear related to AI adoption and role change.\n\n\n\nExplain why AI initiatives often stall when leaders fail to translate enterprise strategy into individual level implications.\n\n\n\nDifferentiate between productive concern and disengaging fear\, and recognize how each may show up in the workplace.\n\n\n\nDescribe evidence based actions leaders and managers can take to reduce uncertainty and build trust during AI driven change.\n\n\n\nApply practical communication and change approaches to help employees understand how their roles may evolve alongside AI.\n\n\n\n\nCPE: 1 credit available for live attendance \n\n\n\n*CPE for qualifying live attendees only. You must answer 3 of the 4 poll questions and be in attendance for a minimum of 50 minutes during the live event. CPE will be e-mailed to qualifying attendees within 60 days of the live event.

SUMMARY:Practical AI in NetSuite: What MCP connectors mean for finance\, Ops and IT
DESCRIPTION:NetSuite 2026.1 introduced more than 15 AI features in what Evan Goldberg called “the biggest update in NetSuite’s history.” Most of it requires real adoption work — permissions to redesign\, governance to define and a new front door\, the MCP connector\, that determines what artificial intelligence (AI) tools can actually see and do within your environment. \n\n\n\nThis webinar moves past the hype and into what’s shipping today. You’ll see Claude reach into a live NetSuite instance through Baker Tilly’s Precision AI connector\, watch the SuiteCloud Developer Assistant generate working SuiteScript with tests and documentation in minutes and walk away with a concrete view of where AI-augmented NetSuite is heading — including Autonomous Close\, the open agentskills.io standard NetSuite became the first ERP to adopt and the four new role archetypes most adoption frameworks skip. \n\n\n\nIf you’ve been asked\, “What’s our AI plan for NetSuite?” and need something better than a feature list\, this session is for you. \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: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:ERP Selection Surprises: Five Hidden Costs to Avoid
DESCRIPTION:Selecting an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system can be one of the most high-impact and risky technology decisions an organization can make. While demos and pricing sheets often highlight upfront costs\, many ERP initiatives fail to account for hidden expenses that emerge during implementation\, scaling\, and long-term use. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, our experienced professionals will break down five commonly overlooked cost drivers that can significantly impact total cost of ownership (TCO). Attendees will also gain practical insight into licensing models\, implementation tiers\, and long-term operational considerations to help build a stronger internal business case and secure executive buy-in. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re evaluating your first ERP or considering a switch from a legacy system\, this session will help you compare technology solutions more confidently and avoid costly surprises\, while understanding what “right-fit ERP” really looks like at scale. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this program\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify five common hidden ERP costs that can impact long-term TCO\, beyond initial licensing and implementation.\n\n\n\nDiscuss how to evaluate ERP vendors more effectively by understanding the differences in licensing structures\, implementation tiers\, and scalability.\n\n\n\nExplain how to build a stronger\, data-driven business case for ERP selection that resonates with executive and financial stakeholders.\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 Computer Software and Applications field of study may be awarded upon verification of participant attendance during the 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.
