SUMMARY:From risks to results
DESCRIPTION:With a new year approaching and the financial services industry risk landscape constantly evolving\, it is essential to align your financial services organization’s audit\, risk and compliance functions to ensure robust oversight and resilience. As you look ahead to 2026\, your focus should be on strengthening enterprise risk management (ERM) practices and proactively aligning your internal audit plans to consider (or evaluate) how these risks and potential mitigation strategies may impact your organization.  \n\n\n\nOn Dec. 17\, Baker Tilly financial services and ERM specialists are hosting a webinar featuring information on emerging risks they believe will impact internal audit plans in 2026 and focus on how to anticipate and mitigate them. Key risks for 2026 will likely include increased regulatory scrutiny\, emerging cybersecurity threats and the growing complexity of IT environments. To address these challenges\, we will provide tips to enhance collaboration between your second-line (risk management and compliance) and third-line (internal) functions\, allowing you to identify potential control gaps\, assess technology-related vulnerabilities and confirm that governance frameworks are responsive to new and emerging risks. Participants will gain actionable strategies to enhance resilience\, ensure compliance and drive value within their internal audit functions.  \n\n\n\nRegister now and join us for this CPE-eligible webinar on Dec. 17 from 1-2 p.m. ET.
